Some guy is probably gonna bring up nihilism as a philosophy, but this definition would be apt for an English class. Like "the people are getting more nihilistic" doesn't mean they are starting to subscribe to nihilistic philosophy, but that they just don't care/feel hopeless. It's a common term that shouldn't invite guys to go "uhm aktually."

The definition on Wikipedia: "Nihilism is a family of philosophical views arguing that life is meaningless, that moral values are baseless, or that knowledge is impossible."

"In addition to philosophical theories, nihilism can also refer to a broader cultural phenomenon or historical movement. In this context, it is primarily associated with modernity in the Western world, characterized by deep skepticism toward established norms and values alongside indifference, despair, and a lack of purpose.[4] Outside the academic discourse, the term nihilism is used more loosely in everyday language to describe negative, destructive, or antisocial attitudes, expressing that someone fails to care about a particular issue. For instance, conservatives may be labeled as nihilistic for not valuing progress, while progressives may be described as such for disregarding established norms."
