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.”

low art gloominati 

LOW ART as a synonym for "Degenerate" Art, which is purposefully evoked as an empowerment to expressionism; by demonizing oneself beforehand, it leaves little rest for any one possessing critical and belittling eyes to condemn. Which is also in itself a belittlement towards this belittlement of progressive art; to empower it through its evocation. And 'GLOOMINATI' as a play on the words, the prefix gloom juxtaposed with Illuminati to insinuate Marilyn Manson as a dark, overly sinister misery spreading entity, which again is done so sarcastically as they bring nothing but joy to myself and anyone else who gets "it".
