It's from a passage in the bible (Ecclesiastes 1:9) and the passage is a rant about the futility of life. The phrase, in Latin, is "nihil sub sole novum", so I'm pretty sure that's where the word nihilism comes from.
That's both fascinating, sad, and ironic etymology. My point still stands, I just now realize it's also just a reframing against the original edge lord trend. There really isn't anything new under the sun haha.
I love how the Bible compliers had to alter the ending to change the meaning completely. They couldn't just let the emo-like ramblings go without comment.
