Yep! It means, nothing. Well, nothing in the sense that you don’t think much about the subject at hand. We have all used it in one version or another all our lives, but the Simpsons defined its post modern usage.

My age is showing: I prefer “Ugh.”
In fact, I never watched “The Simpsons.”
I felt the same way, and had to Google the word. My expression had always been, Nyaah. These kids are always getting it all wrong.
I didn’t know what that meant either, I’ve seen it before and always thought the person didn’t know how to spell ‘me’. LOL
I am glad to see I haven’t been alone in my ignorance!
