Back in my youth days, we called you guys Emos.

Unlike emos which were a specific style people chose to participate in, doomers are a common western phenomenon of disappointed White youth that just happen to share a common thread. Much like the "30 year old boomer" meme, it's not an intentional style so much as an observation.

Emos "intentionally feel feels", the Doomer no longer feels. The emo's gf left him and he cries for a month… the doomer can't connect with most women, seek out broken girls with tonnes of baggage or somehow stumble onto a good relationship but intentionally sabotage it due to self-destructive tendencies. And when it's over… he feels relieved because he knows he's unlovable.

The emo is characterized by high-highs and low-lows… the doomer is characterized by disconnect and alienation. Usually a failed romantic, he differs from the goth that actively seeks apathy, the doomer may seek happiness or most likely has given up on it… however there is a reason the Bloomer meme exists, as well. Sometimes it's just a emotional/psychological blockage that can be worked by actively stewing in the misery and there's light at the end of the tunnel.

The emo is usually suburban and wishes he could "live somewhere cool like the city" whereas doomers tend to be from the city and wish they could transfer themselves to the countryside. Emos, politically were leftist… usually tepid Democrats that saw the party as "less shit than the Republicans" whereas doomers are usually eco-fascist in spirit however too pessimistic of the world to actually fight for it.

Unlike goths and emos, the doomer puts little effort into his outward appearance. The "uniform" being a black hoodie, plain knit hat or baseball cap, plain black jeans or sweatpants and plain boots or sneakers usually bought at Walmart, Amazon or whatever your country's equivalent of the IDGAF store. Alcoholism, tobacco and low level drug abuse is common.

Unlike the emo that WANTS to be emo but doesn't label himself as such, the doomer usually labels himself that way… but wishes he weren't.

I'd say the doomer is the final evolution of the goth, if goth was sad with society and nü-metal angry at it… the doomer has just given up on it. Search "doomer music" on youtube and its just goth and black metal.


 No.13007>>13015 >>13074

the goth and emo type usually just dressed a certain part and listened to certain to music. they still mostly had an extensive circle of friends (the reason they styled themselves this way) and generally went on to lead average happy peasant lives. of the few I've met post high school ive noticed that the mentality still hasn't really died, at least the attention seeking aspect of it. habitual lying or retelling of events through a very skewed lense to paint themselves in a very particular light. sadly i think they resemble modern kids but still had a small spark of real world humanity that constantly had to battle with the social media hivemind that was beginning to infect everyone's head. now kids dont even experience life enough to feel they have to lie to skew events because real life is dirty, and unfit for scrutiny on social media. everything must be posed or ironic or tied to some commen saying or song.

fuck im high i hope that makes sense

fun fact

when I quit my last job I overheard my boss and another guy talk about the replacement they wished for me

>yeah and this applicant seems okayish

>he has this and this background blah blah

>hope he is not that emotional

in retrospect I should have never applied at any job but hindsight is 2020 or how ever the americans say

the funny thing was that my boss was a conspiritard/altright guy and often made remarks about political stuff happening and so. And every time I thought:

>if you only knew how bad it really is my friend

Are emos still a thing or did they die out just like goth and scene?


 No.13056>>13058 >>13064

>>13050

Emos was an offshoot of "hardcore" which was a harder version of punk scene… that's on paper. In reality it was a more (((marketable))) version of goth since goth culture always rejected (((capitalism))). Emo evolved into scene when the popular kids in school started becoming emo kids, and started dressing "ironically" in emo style. Then the scene kids wanted to "get back to the music" and became "indie". Then they evolved into hipster when they started do EVERYTHING ironically. I don't think hipsters died… I think they were just absorbed into general culture.

Goth faded but never died, there's still a small but lively goth scene in music (mostly on youtube).


 No.13058>>13131

>>13050

If anything, goth is the least dead one - it always seems to reproduce in some form, just because it became so vague by the '90s.

>>13056

Nah, man. Emo was a thing for like 20 years before it became commercial. And scene actually came from a different thing, too, but kind of converged with emo and caught converts.

There were loads of indie hipsters before scene kids started listening to Bon Iver and wearing plaid, too - that part was pure bandwagon jumping, there was no real organic relation like there was with goth, '00s emo fashion, and scene style. Animal Collective just got big (they were already big, but they weren't mainstream yet) and scene kids jumped on it.

Real '00s emos were the biggest tools but they were cute as fuck and I miss them.

I actually do wear the all black get up, but it's purely incidental. I used to work retail, and the dress code only allowed me to wear black pants and choice of either white or black shirts, I went with black because the white shirts would go see-through with sweat while I was unloading freight. I never left home for any reason except work so I only ever bought work clothes. I got fat and outgrew my old clothes, and eventually my wardrobe was filtered out until it was all black.

I really hope you aren't implying that any actual goth would be caught dead in a Hot Topic. Or a mall at all, for that matter.

I don't think anyone would want to be caught dead in a mall now.

It's impossible to be of age where you evolve into a doomer and to still not grow out of black metal. It would be a paradox.

Also you don't really think that chan people make youtube shit, that's all reddit sewage

What is left of chan culture? Honestly tell me. Because since 2016 it's just dead. Some idiot making youtube video and 20 other praising him can't really surprise me anymore. Imageboards are dead, get over it. Get on IRC like every sane person who wasted his life on these shitboards since early 00s and stop acting like chanknight.

Absolutely nothing. I could say true doomer doesn't listen to music at all because it's all bullshit and it would make same sense. You can go full GenX mode and just be this dude who says "everything sucks" and offs himself.

holy shit yes. same thing happened to me in fast food and now have very few pre-wageslave clothes. but it's not really the same thing as dying your hair, stretching your earlobes out, wearing a studded neon belt and an asking alexandria t-shirt tho.


 No.13131>>13133

This. All of those subcultures have been around since the early 80s. The only that happened in 00s was that it became really easy to get into the music from the past thanks to soulseek, oink, various music blogs, and specialty ezines. The Vinyl revival and reissue culture helped things as well.

>>13087

Malls are great and need to be preserved. 90s-00s prep culture is great in general. Or at least better than the whole "nerds are cool now… lolifuckinglovescience" bullshit we have been subjected to for last decade or so.

We've had a discord/IRC thread, and despite a dozen requests for recommendations nobody posts shit. So either this "doomersphere" IRC culture is either fictitious or everyone is all SekritClub about it. I am willing to bet my monthly booze money on the former.
