i agree with a good amount of what nihilism says. but i am more of an existentialist.
this is what nihilism says:
Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy
MY ARGUEMENT: how can nothing be known or communicated? because the nihilist beleives that nothing can be known, even though he knows that nothing can be known. so you have a contradiction. how can you know not being able to know?
nihilism also beleives that there is no meaning to life. however while there is no objective meaning to life, there is however a subjective meaning. so then how can there be no meaning if you give it a meaning?
personaly, i tihnk nihilism is self contradictory and a cop out, out of life further arguement and life.
