"yeah dude, like, 2020 is totally gonna be my year trust me"

[stentor]

You don’t have to make a doomer version of any Radiohead song because they’re already doomer songs

[rubin]

my best friend overdosed last year. he loved this song. i don’t know what to do anymore. i’m so lost

[ezoV_]

Too afraid to die, but the thought of an endless sleep is too comforting.

[mayaazimov]

you somehow managed to make the most depressing song in the whole world even more depressing

[Whattheheckdude]

To think that in 5-10 years some kid will come across this and look back at it as a piece of internet history

>tfw even nightwalks will now be prohibited due to Coronavirus

10 years ago I told myself it will get better... Yet here I still am

[xxproincodxx]

"Mommy i can't wait to be an adult " "Oh you dont want to be one, enjoy your childhood memories, have fun baby " My mother told me this when i was 6, she then proceeded to suicide the next month, i should've listened to her, i have so many regrets but this one hurts me the most. She was such a good person i wish i could see what she was going through maybe i could've stopped her
I want to give you one last hug mom, please its your son. Just one last

[wasiknoor]

is it just me or regret is the strongest feeling i feel

[dmitriakos]

the perfect song to listen for 2hours straight past midnight staring at the ceiling thinking absolutely nothing

[amenonaka]

Bloomers: damn this virus now i cant go out and have fun
Doomers: no alarms and no surprises

[Loop]

This song is about someone taking their life, but realizing they don't want to when they reach the final edge. ("no alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)") When they realize everything they've done will be for nothing. All the people they've met and interacted with will forever know them as the person who ended their life. When they realize that this is fundamentally wrong, it goes against every human instinct. You don't want to die, in your deepest sanctuary, you don't want death. No one does. It is impossible to truly, fundamentally want death. As living is the one thing the human was made for. You were created with the sole purpose not to die, which is why you cannot truly want death.



I'm not saying that your suicidal thoughts aren't valid, they are. Your thoughts are very very significant and important. But they are illogical, they are biased. Your whole body and mind doesn't want death. Your conscious body may want it, but not every part of you.



Think on that, my fellow doomers. Hope will never leave you, as it is what makes you.

Its 4:43 am I’m just laying in my bed staring at my ceiling listening to this

[nerdienew]

The fact that this song is 20 years old proves that this will always be relatable for all of humanity. Thank you Radiohead for one of the greatest pieces of music.

[liara]

I’m starting to get my life together but I always come back to these doomerwave songs, I don’t know why. I think maybe it has to do with how at the time where I felt like shit, depressed and alone, these songs gave me closure and reassurance that I wasn’t the only one going through this shit.

I genuinely pray for everyone in these comments that they come out of the depression that they’re in. If it weren’t for y’all - I’d probably be somewhere else, somewhere darker.

[tvdhrwy]

Imagine how pleasant an endless sleep would be

[mikaandela]

as if this song wasn't depressing enough allready

[jollyroman]

I’m the only kid in my entire grade even doing our online schooling, everyday, I see everyone else, living their lives as if I wasn’t there. These were supposed to be the golden days of my life, and yet I spent freshman year as a cynical edglord, sophomore year half depressed, half healing, and this year I am completely broken. Not even depressed, I don’t get the dignity, everyday is hell, but I know killing myself would accomplish nothing, so I can’t even take action against my position. This whole ordeal wouldn’t even be that bad if I wasn’t completely alone in it. But I am, without a friend to talk to, because of the first two years.

I don’t know what to do.

Edit:to the guy who typed “go to the gym, get buff, date stacies” and then deleted his comment, that was hilarious

18th birthday today, I'm really turning into a doomer now huh
