What is Doomer? Doomer Meaning Explained
A person obsessed with hopelessness, burnout, or doom-scrolling
Doomer is internet slang for someone stuck in negativity, pessimism, or burnout. It’s a meme archetype that Gen Z often uses to roast their own mental health spiral.
“Doomer” comes from 4chan meme culture around 2019 — originally used to describe a nihilistic guy archetype: black hoodie, vape in hand, sad music playing. Gen Z turned it into a flexible label for burnout, depression memes, and ironic self-diagnosis. Now being “in doomer mode” is how we cope with the algorithm, the vibes, or just existing.
