what exactly is - nihilism? Everyone seems to have their own interpretation of this concept. What is it and what does it mean?

Wow, you're right. I've never heard nihilism mentioned or discussed here.

Anti-essentialism/platonism basically. Generally it's categorical in nature; i.e., there's no such thing as x, there are just things that subjectively look like x, and this subjectivity does nothing to create truth.

The realisation that everything is meaningless and that no matter what you do it'll never have a lasting effect, it's relieving and depressing at the same time because nothing matters.
