doomer girl
/ˈduː.mər ɡɜːl/
CommonA wojak-style character representing a nihilistic girl who listens to dark music, wears black, and has given up on the future.
Unlike the male doomer who is purely bleak, doomer girl has a softer ironic quality. She is sometimes played as a love interest for the doomer boy. The character has been adopted as a self-identifier by some women who relate to the aesthetic.
