Even though the bloomer has typical taste, it's good taste and implies a more coherent worldview.

The trouble with the bloomer books I think is that they don’t provide as much emotional denouement, which despite everything /lit/ seems to especially like with aesthetic bliss being secondary, that the doomer books have. It’s like Marinetti said in his futurist manifesto, a good book should be like a blow with a fist, and the doomer books certainly have that. Identifying with the doomer is almost a masochistic practice, and for anyone who likes a good struggle in their life, books for the “bloomer” really don’t seem as interesting but more of a dry intellectual exercise, or books the average person who is not as “in” with literature would read just for the sake of reading them. In short they don’t appeal to pathos as much.

The meme is oft set up that the doomer should eventually evolve into the bloomer with increased age and awareness, but here he doomer could become an Ivan Karamazov like character, and I’d find someone like that more interesting to know than some Daoist who spouts Alan Watts
