Nihilism is a reaffirming belief in the lack of subjective value in things, such that all things have only categorical value. "This jug is an absolute democracy of atoms."
Existentialism is an ultimately self-deprecating belief that one's actions and experiences hold no value due to the ultimatum of death.

I have a nagging feeling that nihilism, at least for me, isn't really a 'buyable' idea. I've gone through the whole existential tumult thing after reading Camus and Sartre and I've dabbled in Nietzsche and read various other miscellaneous things on Nihilism, yet through the whole thing, my actions and their effects seem like possibly the most important thing in the world from my standpoint. I was never relieved of the anxiety that accompanies the notion that my actions have real consequences. The whole "nothing mattress dude, CHILL out and be cool B)" thing seems impossible in the face of my easily aroused nervous system (ie general anxiety).In the grand scheme we are all just dust, sure, but while living we have real pains and emotions and the idea that I can affect peoples states kind of makes nihilism frivolous.

When you say that all you have to base off what human nature is is yourself. You have this have this idea that pains and emotions matter and it's built into you so fad that you don't argue with it, but that doesn't make it a universal truth.

This song is about the nihilism induced by shock, and other parts of the song contradict the nihilism pretty much explicitly.

Life was pretty good as far as experiments go, but I really liked the Universe's earlier stuff. I understand that the Universe was trying to get away from the whole "bigger is better" scene by going from a relatively infinite scale to a finite one, but I think everyone can agree that a return to form would be ideal. Apparently the "End of All Life" is exactly what we've been waiting for, and personally I can't wait any longer for it. The question now is what will the universe do with the results from this experimental work? Sadly I can't answer that question, but I'm sure that the universe will come up with an interesting spin on some classics.

I literally cannot live on because of my excitement for the candle of life being snuffed out. Actually, I know it's a bit premature, I'm going to just go kill myself right now.

"For optimists, human life never needs justification, no matter how much hurt piles up, because they can always tell themselves that things will get better. For pessimists, there is no amount of happiness—should such a thing as happiness even obtain for human beings except as a misconception—that can compensate us for life’s hurt. As a worst-case example, a pessimist might refer to the hurt caused by some natural or human-made cataclysm. To adduce a hedonic counterpart to the horrors that attach to such cataclysms would require a degree of ingenuity from an optimist, but it could be done. And the reason it could be done, the reason for the eternal stalemate between optimists and pessimists, is that no possible formula can be established to measure proportions and types of hurt and happiness in the world. If such a formula could be established, then either pessimists or optimists would have to give in to their adversaries."

The problem with your image is that it suggests that this or that philosophy will actually determine how you really feel about life beyond a theoretical level.

People on this board use philosophy as a self-help manual rather than just a thought exercise. No amount of the right philosophy is going to make you "happy"; this is something determined by real life factors and, above all, your brain chemicals. Nietzsche didn't go mad because he went "full nihilist". He went mad because he had brain cancer.
