What you call nihilism, i might call radical nihilism or extreme nihilism. Yes, taken to the extreme, it would lead to total apathy, as there is no reason to do anything (Also no reason to kill yourself btw).
But you can still have nihilism as the foundation of your philosophy. That would probably be a contradiction to you, cause you take nihilism very literal. And yes, by your definition any known nihilist is a fake nihilist, otherwise you wouldn't know them.

The word closest to rejecting objective meaning is just non-religious because objective meaning is mostly a religious phenomenon. What matters is that the alternative is NOT just nihilism, but also existentialism.
- jona-f 3y agoExistentialism is one of those philosophies based on nihilism in my book.
- adasdasdas 3y agoThat's fine if you want use your definition, but most existentialists consider nihilism the common enemy in a society without object meaning.
