The Doomer Boy, also known as E-Boy Wojak, first emerged on 4chan and Twitter in early 2020 as a male counterpart to the popular Doomer Girl. Defined by his messy black hair, black hoodie, and perpetual look of existential dread, he represents a specific internet subculture focused on nihilism, alternative music, and digital gloom. Unlike the original weathered Doomer character, the Doomer Boy carries a younger, 'e-boy' aesthetic, often appearing in 'Boys vs. Girls' meme formats or alongside the Trad Girl character. He has become a staple of internet culture for expressing feelings of loneliness, burnout, and the quiet resignation of the modern youth experience.
