    Existentialism doesn’t necessarily claim that nothing matters, so yours sounds more like optimistic nihilism, which is very similar if not identical to absurdism.

      Thanks for pointing that out. I was trying to be concise and keep in style with the OP, but I may have gone overboard there.

      I would probably label myself an optimistic nihilist, and I’m one of the main people spreading such ideas right now.
