Is “folklore mindset” nihilist if you believe that stories are valuable, but are still trying to figure out what stories are for?

Ah so "told for true" is a sort of term of art for an assumed folkloric consensus that everybody politely pretends to buy? No that does not sound nihilist to me. More like a sort of "don't think too much" faith.
it’s a term I got from a very old dead tree book that stuck in my head idk it makes sense to me
