Vibe (noun)
vaiyb
a general feeling or sensation that someone gets or has about something.
Vibe is an Americanism that dates back to 1965–70 and is often used in the plural as in, good vibes, although a revival of the word in the 2020s prefers the singular ‘vibe’. Vibe was created by shortening the word vibration(s) in the sense of “instinctive feelings supposedly influencing human communication,” perhaps most famously used in the popular 1966 Beach Boys song, “Good Vibrations.”
