Etymology

The word 'vibes' originated as a shortened form of 'vibrations', which in the 1960s and 70s became associated with the idea of auras and energy fields. It gained popularity in the hippie counterculture of the time as a way to describe the positive or negative energy that people and places could emit. Over the years, 'vibes' has evolved to also encompass the mood or feel of music and art, becoming a versatile term for expressing emotional atmosphere.
