Didn't this whole nihilist attitude start with Nietsche? Or have I got the wrong gloomy, screwed-up German philosopher?

Nihilism was first applied to Christian heretics in the Middle Ages and then some Russian revolutionaries in the 1850s and 1860s who repudiated Christianity and contemporary Russian values.

I believe most any philosophy can be found expounded upon, in volumes, by the Germans, provided that the paperwork is in order.
