Nihilism only proposes that life is intrinsically meaningless, not that it's thoroughly meaningless. I suppose it asks and perhaps even demands you generate your own meaning.

How the movement begin?
Remember who started this movement?
Not the idea the movement...

His ideas?
The pessimism was a phase, a step, to adopt the nihilism philosophy...

There is multiples ideas behind Nihilism. The Idea of it was better before. It getting only worse with the time.... Etc etc.....

Nihilism is about realizing than the actual word is hopeless, it won't go in a better way, it won't reach a better shape because life is meaningless.

And in the same time... There is hope. Because know you know the truth you are free to think and do whatever you want you are allowed to believe whatever you want to believe. But at least you know than you will always partially doing wrong.... So you will respect other philosophies....

There is the Idea of believing in nothing... The nihilism admit than if you begin to belive in nihilism you begin to believe in something...

There is also the notion of easy and cheap criticism...

No never forget what Nietzsche said....
