gloomster
Habitual doom-predicter
A gloomster is someone who habitually predicts disaster or focuses on the negative—a pessimist or doomsayer.
The word carries a dismissive tone, suggesting the person's gloom is excessive or tiresome: The gloomsters said the economy would collapse, but it didn't.
Often paired with "doomster" for emphasis.
