Something from the earlier Internet which could mark an early onset of digital addiction: Doomerism. Slingshotted post-2018 into higher popularity in usage and identification; peaking in its widespread adoption and attraction in 2020 with the tick in tuning into its more musical forms.
The issues it confronted however still quite relevant from being listed on the Doomsday clock’s recent, somewhat fear-mongering announcement; climate change, oil, new wars. Tomorrow is different but it’s still the same. The gist being that warning signs are apparently all around, screaming that the end of days are well on their way.
Ideation on this makes the nihilative quality of Doomerism almost religious. It’s the same expectation as with a group such as the Jehovah’s Witness’ and their ever failing prophecies of Revelations in the foreseeable future.
Doomer, fatalist in an abundant mirror
Apocalyptic natalist, digital survivalist
Waiting, as if praying for the end—
Gotcha moment when it’s all done
Parallel prepping, Cold War style-stressing
Fearing, fetishizing the post-nuke fugue
Regurgitating nihilistic entropy;
Expected, predicted predestination
