In recent years, a doomer network culture has emerged all over the world, and among many Doomer cultures, Russian-style Doomer music is the most popular. Why Russian Doomer music is so popular among young people is the question that this article attempts to answer. This paper points out that the Doomer characters with "nihilism" as their spiritual heart are their emotional carriers to express their dissatisfaction, disappointment and loneliness in real life. Doome can arouse the emotional resonance and identity of young people. The development of Internet technology provides a hotbed for the reproduction of Doomer culture, and the lack of group beliefs is the deep-seated reason for the popularity of Doomer culture. Through Doomer culture, we can gain insight into the identity anxiety that Russian youth is currently facing, as well as the contradictory and confused psychological state of the ontological security issue of "who am I".
