vibes - vibe

A vibe is an atmosphere or feeling that's present in a place or situation. It's like the mood of the room.

When people talk about getting a good vibe from somewhere, they usually mean that it feels welcoming and nice to be there. For example, if you go to a new coffee shop and feel really relaxed and happy, you might say that you're getting a great vibe from the place. This means that the atmosphere is friendly and makes you want to stay. On the other hand, if a situation or person gives off a bad vibe, it can make you feel uncomfortable or uneasy.

The word "vibe" can also be used to talk about music. For instance, some people might say that a song has a good vibe, meaning that its rhythm and melody create a happy or uplifting atmosphere.
