Nihilist - We believe in nothing, Lebowski. Nothing.
Nihilist: We thought we were going to get a million dollars! It's not fair!

Walter: Not fair? Who's the fucking nihilist?

Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

People need to stop confusing nihilism with being pessimistic. They are different. You can't be "unhealthily nihilsitic". Expecting the fall of humanity and our lifetime being pointless can be a positive way of life.

If you are just depressed and think life is not worth living, you are not a nihilist. Stop abusing the word.
Trevor said he was unhealthily nihilistic, but he is actually pessimistic, and not a nihilist.

One that disreguards all that is not inherent to reality, and isn't fearing of death, though does not seek it. Nihilists have a tendency to love nature and detest concrete and plastic.
Death is the only certainty in life, therefore, giving life meaning.

Nihilist, a person whose motto is
"The point is: there is no point"

A true nihilist doesn't like to destroy because by doing so he is not gaining anything because there is nothing to gain. So those who try to destroy aren't true nihilists.

I don't believe in god i'm a nihilist.

One whose active denial in the meaning or worth of life is typically based on an incongruity between life and that person's pre-conceived notions of justice, fairness, or meaning. In other words, one who is tortuously trying to follow an ethos which denies that there can be a meaningful ethos.
False Nihilist - "If people weren't so stupid they would learn to be miserable all the time like me."

True Nihilist - "To match the metric of our corporate vision, we must leverage our best people to think outside of the box and achieve strategic ubiquity and synergy.

As the most negative definition goes, if a person who has no moral code (except for what actually gets them in trouble legally, and even that may still be done if they can get away with it) they might be considered nihilistic. Also, a nihilistic person's moral code my stop at bros before hos, even if they are female, in which case it is usually a fellow nihilist (male) in which they are backing up. An example of this can be seen in the 1986 film "River's Edge."

If a person finds enjoyment in watching others suffer, it is possible that they could be called nihilistic. Someone who believes in the law of the jungle and their own id above all else could be said to be nihilistic.
NIHILISTIC:

i.e. Many of those on MTV, Comedy Central, E, other cable TV and radio stations...

Most (or at least the most visible) of those on 4-Chan's /B/, Youtube, most other websites, a typical high school...

A stereotypical spoiled and hedonistic frat boy also characterizes this one definition.

Looking out for #1, themselves, and others like them.
