From my limited understanding there's a variety of POV which can be yermed nihilism.
I hold to the following, and believe that falls under the constellation of nihilism as far as I can tell:
There are no objective or ultimate meanings
There is no God or supernatural or afterlife
Full knowledge cannot be obtained on anything except that thoughts exist
There is no objective morality
The universe has no reason for being and is absurd
Freewill is an illusion and doesn't exist
It may be, however, that some would say that doesn't classify as nihilism. Some would. Its an ill defined term, perhaps.
