I have noticed there is a meme that indicates that there are two large generational and perspectival divides in people, often co-indicated in some combination when assessing the types of persons often encountered in life but especially in a "chan" environment. Yes, it is the Boomer/Zoomer, Doomer/Bloomer matrix. It is a sort of evidence-based and fact-based "net" which "captures a lot of fish", as they say. So it is not without merit even from a scientific point of view, if given the right development and modification. But that is not my purpose here. Indeed, my purpose is not even to go into the question of what is "Doomer" in any way shape or form. I prefer to leave that handle something amorphous, especially since it was not meant to be analytically descriptive in the first place, and also because it is not only a term of classification but of colloquial use which is always diverse in its intents and applications. It would be a hopeless task. And there are more important issues to dissect.
First of all, however, I will "take a stab" at what "Doomer-ism" or "Doomer Phenomena" might be, at least in some respects. It seems that we can go back to the original meaning of the term "Doom", which is in reference to taxes, and the possibility of death which lurked on either side of it back in the days of the Norman Conquest of Britain. Not a bad place or time or event in history to give birth to a term with such a reputation for a sense of bleakness and looming disaster. It was called "Domesday" when the assessors would be sent out to see what everyone had and what they were expected to contribute. So it became an analogy for what it is like when finally the chickens come home to roost, as they say. It is rightly analogous with both the positive and negative implications, and not only gloomy ones, as I've elsewhere indicated in a comment here or there on this board. For one thing, you may have prepared well, faced facts squarely, and gotten into the best shape possible for the "big event" whatever it is, and so for you, it is a day of both victory and glory. For the majority of those whom I will call "victims" rather than "victors", it is a day of paying the price for lack of due diligence. "Doom" means different things, to different people, at different times, and in different ways!
But that is just the opener of my considerations to follow. We can see there is some wiggle room in what the term means, and there are plenty of degrees of freedom from then on through special and ever-evolving uses. One use is to consider that a jaded view of reality obtains, whether in the general and abstract or the particular and concrete, or any permutation in between. As its scope and intensity can and do vary, so can its causes and consequences. It depends on the contributing factors, the context involved in its consideration and which is prevalent in its development in the individual person or idea or other "jaded thing". So in the case of a person or type of person (let alone a specific or broad demographic in time), there is always the matter of the character of the person, their attributes both deeply rooted and intentionally developed, and also their personal or group-conditional circumstances, and finally how all these things which are going on may change without any reference to the "Doomed/Dooming/Doomer/Doomish" persons involved. One can't tie it down to any specific aetiology, nor bear it out to any inevitable consequences.
