nowhereness
State of nonexistence
Nowhereness is the quality of being nowhere in particular—lacking distinctive character, identity, or sense of place.
The word often describes anonymous landscapes or settings that could be anywhere: the nowhereness of suburban strip malls, a hotel room's deliberate nowhereness.
It can also convey existential displacement or the feeling of not belonging anywhere.
