So maybe nihilism, like you already said, comes from philosophical pessimism and I'm just confusing it with the other because I'm not familiar with it as a separate entity.

I didn't really know about it until recently when I did some research on it. It's an interesting concept but it's riddled with a lot of downer concepts that'll even take the air out of a nihilist. But if we're speaking specifically to modernity Schopenhauer predated Nietzsche by quite a bit.
