Absurdism is part of nihilism. Nihilism is accepting existence is meaningless, and absurdism is accepting this fact, and also accepting that humans always look for a meaning of their life (without finding one because it doesn’t exist) , which are contradictory and absurd.
For example It’s in opposition with existentialism that also accepts the meaninglessness of life but say that individuals are able to give a meaning to their own life.
