The absurdism depicted isn’t pure absurdism because there’s the presence of style, which is a system of meaning and value. So, as depicted, that’s more existentialism or a healthy and cool blend of absurdism with existentialism.

Man i switch between those 2 and existentialism like every day. Sometimes even on the same day depending on mood and stuff
Someone who comes here today will be happy to see this. I was, and I hope you are too. Exurb1a is just a treat, check out his other work too.
Thank you, one of those someones is me. Now i have a new dude to peep (and i should read camus).
Edit for the void: one page into 'The Plague' and I'm getting chills.

I strive to be like Gonzo from the Muppet movies. That whatever is the very picture of the ubermensch.

Nothing matters (so do nothing because there is no reason to do something)

I consider myself as mostly existentialist (nothing matters, so find your own meaning), but absurdism has a strong pull, I must admit.
Existentialism doesn't necessarily claim that nothing matters, so yours sounds more like optimistic nihilism, which is very similar if not identical to absurdism.
