History and usage

The term "vibe" has a long history, but its usage in the context of social media and pop culture has evolved over time. Originally derived from the word "vibration," it was first associated with the counterculture movements of the 1960s and 1970s, where it conveyed a sense of shared atmosphere or feeling among a group of people.

In the 2010s, "vibe" experienced a resurgence in popularity, especially within online communities and social media platforms. People began using the term to describe the overall mood or atmosphere of a particular place, event, or even a person's presence. It became a shorthand way to express a positive or negative feeling about something.
