Yeah, it's easy to see why people without a philosophical background misunderstand Nietzsche so badly (what are normies supposed to think when you tell them that they need to create their own values, they just don't have the conceptual framework to make sense of that).
Nietzsche didn't reject the concept of values, his entire point was that the history of mankind is the history of the evolution of ideas and social dynamics, that there are no absolute god-given truths which need to be held on to 'just the way they are now' for all time, that any system of morality is inherently flawed, and needs to be reborn and transformed time and time again to remain believable.
Fascism likes to pretend that it is a personification of Apollo himself, so fascist art goes for the realism memes, depicting the 'real life of real workers', when really it's just a laughable oversimplification of the human condition, whereas purely Dionysian art is the rejection of absolutes altogether, which is why it retreats further and further into empty abstractions, always denying itself.

If you're interested in reading up on this, birth of tragedy did a pretty good job of explaining the problems both of trying to repress change by holding the Apollonian up as the absolute and of giving yourself to pure Dionysian madness. Hegel also did a very good job of tracing the evolution of artistic forms in his lectures on aesthetics.
