What is a broken bloomer?
A broken bloomer is a bloomer whose optimism has been challenged by life events. As a result, the broken bloomer is rethinking their life philosophy. Broken bloomers are often depicted wearing the same teal sweatshirt as bloomers, but half-laughing and -crying as though they don't know how to process the conflicting emotions they are feeling.
Example
