Gloomer refers to several Wojak characters spread on 4chan describing young adults between ages 22 and 27 who lead an antisocial and uninspired life that
may be a consequence of a blackpill OD, a
rich inner
world, eccentric tastes, and
chronic anhedonia that alienate the Gloomer from the community. Although these aren't exclusive conditions for being a Gloomer, they provide a general basis for it.
Termed by some as an inbetween of the Doomer and Bloomer: the former being complete blackpill or the "final redpill", the latter being optimistic despite
said blackpilling.
While the Doomer
may be a lost cause, there is still hope for redemption for the Gloomer to emerge as a Bloomer and
set aside their Weltschmerz, the other emotional destination being the honkpill.
The Gloomer
may be an avid reader of Nietzsche, Hegesias of Cyrene, the Buddhists, Schopenhauer, and the Kali Yuga, among others.
The Gloomer is likely a symptom of a decaying civilization, social alienation, atomization, the realization of societal woes, and the degenerative effects of auto-domestication.
While the earliest variation of Gloomer depicted the character as a 27-year-old female, a
male version of the character gained spread in April
2019.
"I'm considering a /nightwalk/ tonight"
"We're not gonna make it"
"I have a pretty
cool mixtape, but you probably wouldn't want to hear it"
Normie: Why are you such a downer?
Gloomer: “He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby becomes a
monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss
will also gaze into thee.”
