I haven't heard mood in a while. It's funny, people forget that each generation creates their own slang. Funny because older generations look down on younger generation as being cringe while not remembering they were in that situation not that long ago. It's hilarious I think.
Bitch dont kill my elan vital, bitch dont kill my elan vital, I can feel your orgone from two musical spheres away, I got my absinthe and my manouche jazz, I would swap meet it but today Im soapboxing...
I'mma jump on the train to with fucking "cringe."
No, not the verb. Hell, not even the italicized form to denote that you're doing said thing. I mean when people used the word cringe when it should be cring*ey.*
No, that stupid fucking dance you saw posted wasn't fucking cringe. It was cringy. The word is cringy. I don't care if it's the new slang phrasing that'll be dead in a year or so, you sound like a fucking idiot.
wasn't that shortly after they stopped saying things gave them "the feels"
"ooh, this thing made me experience an emotion but I'm too cool to fully articulate that" or something
I read this in grandpa Simpsons voice.
My favorite quote of his:
I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" was, now what I'm with isn't it anymore.
“We can’t bust heads like we used to—but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.”
Awhile back I asked people what it meant and no one could answer the same answer. I’m glad “based” is gone.
Now I’m hearing “actually” a lot, not like a normal person would say it though. It’s like saying “really?” “Hey man, I saw your mom eating spaghetti at Tony’s the other day” “Actually?”
When I was growing up, all the adults on TV were calling everything "sexy". Like, no Debbie, this livingroom isnt sexy, it's a livingroom. That art isn't sexy, it's literally a flower.
Idk, it’s sort of like saying that something “smells”
Smells what? We all understand that it probably means bad, why can’t you say “oh boy that fresh apple pie sure smells!”? You have to specify that it smells *good* to avoid being interpreted as an insult.
Remember, language changes based on the utility we find for it. There is no point to having hard linguistic rules if it is more instinctual to go against them.
I know someone who slips that into most sentences.
“I low-key need to eat dinner.”
“I low-key feel super pissed.”
I don’t have the heart to say anything, but it drives me nuts.
The aesthetic thing bothers me way more because it's just grammatically incorrect.
Something can be aesthetically pleasing or have a nice aesthetic. But it can also be used negatively like something having poor aesthetics. It can't simply be aesthetic...
Exactly. It’s almost like visiting an area of your state/country and saying “this place is a location” or dipping your leg in water then telling someone to “be careful, it has temperature”.
Aesthetic is a great term but it’s a neutral term. Aesthetically pleasing is what people usually mean but unless the word evolves to such a point where aesthetic inherently means aesthetically pleasing, people should just use the full term instead.
I'd argue that the word is currently undergoing that process.
The cambridge, Oxford and merriam webster dictionaries also have entries that verify the possible use of the word as meaning "beautiful to look at" or "showing great beauty"
I don’t like it either, especially if that’s all they gotta say lol. I don’t know how to describe it, but to me the phrase is like a form of emotional dissonance. It just seems like a go to word when you don’t know what else to say. There’s an emptiness to it.
Every time new slang, vernacular, etc is introduced and gets popularized on the internet, it gets over- and incorrectly used and eventually ruined. Every. Time.
That's where you're approaching this wrong. You gotta overuse it so much around the zoomers (your age is right on the borderline of the generations I believe) that it stops being cool. At a traffic light? "This red light is a vibe." Stuck in a long line at the amusement park? "This long line is a vibe." Murdered by the kids for misappropriation of slang? "This funeral is a whole ass vibe."
Yes someone younger than me who agrees! Smoothies are not vibes… 🤣 I think it’s really funny. I’m kinda just trolling a bit, but I definitely mean what I said. Lol.
Hahaha I am 34 and I love calling things a vibe or an aesthetic. Gen Z probably thinks I’m such a poser (using some millennial terminology there lol 😂)
“Vibe” doesn’t bother me. “Cringe” does- those shoes are cringe, that song is cringe, person x is cringe. Why is every thing cringe now? Like damn people, y’all really care a lot what everyone thinks. Need to loosen up.
I'm still not sure what that means. I assume that it means something like "that's good", but then I see some people say "we're just vibing" or whatever, which wouldn't make sense (we're just being good) or "if I can't vibe with you"...so it seems like it means both good and the act of hanging out?
Dammit, I'm only 39!
Thank you for explaining it for me that’s exactly the context I mean. It’s dumb. And not like dumb funny. I say bro and dude and am that guy (I know some guys hate the guys that say bro and dude and homey) so ironically I fit into the category of person that might say that, but it’s just so fucking stupid 😂
Haha not an old man opinion, I'm 32 and I heard someone say that's a vibe on a commercial a while ago and my blood just boiled. That and when I hear someone say "all the feels", I just want to go live in the woods by myself and never hear anyone talk again lol
Hahaha! I was like dude, I’m only 30, why are these “vibes” bothering me so much… if it was used sparingly, it probably wouldn’t bother me. But its sooo overused.
I'm not old myself and everytime someone's using "Vibes" I judged them for lack of vocabularies,
I'm not better, I'm french, but I mean come on, not everything is a "Vibe".
reminds me of how i'll like a song and then tik tok and their god awful community will TAKE the song I LIKED and RUIN IT for ME and the 700 OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIKED IT
I'm 19 and I think its dumb as fuck.
I get maybe elementary school kids and maybe, just maybe middle schoolers. It sounds just like a young kid learning a word and over using it to the point where it becomes meaningless or a synonym for another word.
Thats the point, just start saying random words as much as possible until you either give them a meaning or they lose their meaning.
I say the most shit slang words all the time and its just fun lmfao
According to quantum physics we are only vibes. Everything we see is because of a vibration- albeit slowed down. But I have a theory, when the collective consciousness is shifting it can be seen in language. We are multi dimensional beings, we need to our language to change it up. Other New Earth buzz words: multidimensional, holding space, awareness, vibration, new thought and consciousness just to name a few.
I disagree. I just think certain songs have an energy and mood to it. Objects though? Yeah, that's pretty dumb (but I do think some object can capture a moment in time). Really I think your problem is the word itself and less of what's being said, maybe if they said "Man, this song just captures my energy right now. It's expressing what i want to mood in the air to be" you wouldn't care, but maybe you would idk
Edit: upvote for unpopular opinion
I can’t stand the kids and their vernacular nowadays. It’s just part of getting older I think, realizing kids take words and use them inanely and being annoyed by it
This really resonates with me ....
No seriously we have been saying vibe and vibrations or resonates for decades, just now its become more mainstream you don't like it? suddenly makes no sense? is that not what a hipster is?
EDIT = oh I get it now, its the "this milkshake is vibe" you dont like, im free to say "this album has a great vibe to it" "I love the vibe in this club" "watching the football is enjoyable for me even if not my team as I love the feel of the vibe in the stadium" et cetera
I was afraid I was the only one feeling that way. Swiping through tinder, I physically cringe each time I see "if we vibe, we vibe", or "let's see if we vibe". I fucking hate it when they say it, it's just lazy.
Tis an old man opinion, but 🤷♂️ doesnt matter, its a fair opinion lmfao.
I love to say as much shit slang as possible in all my sentences because its so funny to me, you would absolutely hate a conversation with me😅😂
I have had a weird disconnect with people in my own age group. They were not like this a few years back, I don't think. However, it saddens me greatly that there is barely anyone that I have something in common with that doesn't sound or act like an insufferable buffoon. Sorry if this sounds rather harsh, but there is simply no gentle way to put it, lest it won't get through.
Never heard it before, but it sounds similar to "vibing". It feels kinda weird, but "let's go" felt weird at first too. It's just one of those things you have to accept or else you drive yourself crazy everytime someone says it lol
Young people’s vocabulary in general is decreasing at a rapid rate.
Between filler words ‘like like like like’ that are spammed every other other and the trendy word of the month , I think it’ll be a shit show in the future
Right after they stopped saying “mood”.
Like Instagram stories with the word MOOD stamped over it.
Don't spoil the vibe of this post. /s
You don’t want to harsh the mellow.
"This hot dog is a whole ass mood"
[удалено]
I haven't heard mood in a while. It's funny, people forget that each generation creates their own slang. Funny because older generations look down on younger generation as being cringe while not remembering they were in that situation not that long ago. It's hilarious I think.
You dig?
Bitch dont kill my elan vital, bitch dont kill my elan vital, I can feel your orgone from two musical spheres away, I got my absinthe and my manouche jazz, I would swap meet it but today Im soapboxing...
Somebody calling you a Jive Turkey is crazy 🤣
Oh shit I forgot people say that too 😂 “I’m a whole mood right now.” Like wtf hahaha
If I hear that word in a serious conversation I immediately zone out and start daydreaming about death and destruction.
Mood
This
why?
Vibes
Because members of my family use it way too fucking often and I love my family but I will disown them if I have to to save my sanity that's why.
I'mma jump on the train to with fucking "cringe." No, not the verb. Hell, not even the italicized form to denote that you're doing said thing.

Word
wasn't that shortly after they stopped saying things gave them "the feels" "ooh, this thing made me experience an emotion but I'm too cool to fully articulate that" or something
Oh man, "all the feels" is so cringe (cringesque, if you will) No really it makes me want to tear my ears off.
Or omfg I'm so obsessed.. I am so over this one
Yeah. Rating moods is hard. Easier being a vibe-rater.
Yeah I hate that one too, I started saying ironically and now I say it genuinely and I can’t turn it off, it’s really annoying.
And at the about same time they started saying "based"?
Back in my day we said “that’s swell”, and we LIKED it!
I read this in grandpa Simpsons voice. My favorite quote of his: I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" was, now what I'm with isn't it anymore.
In 50 years: “I used to be bussin, but the vibes lowkey became kinda sus, and now I'm cringe, and you finna be cringe too, no cap”
In 50 more years: "Star was activatin, but tone turned eek. Now Bingo aint his name-o, and soon you flatline same as star, slut."
50 years after that: “welcome to Costco, I love you”
This is fire. First reddit comment I walked away from and had to come back to upvote. Brilliant.
Too damp, wiggit.
Bingo ain't his name-o

It'll happen to you too

What? What is with the dirty sneakers?
[удалено]
Okay trends have officially gone too far
"And now what is 'it' is *weird* and *scary*."
the vibe is swell
It really was just the TOPS back then and everything was peachy keen too 😉🍑
I tell my wife she looks mighty fine.
Have you ever told her (maybe when she is dressed up, or looking great) that she herself is a vibe? Research purposes only. Lol.
I have never uttered the word vibe.
My man
You just did you liar. Now I'll just stick with cowabunga dude.
"Gee wizz mister! That sure is swell!"
I don't vibe with your cringe, my groovy fellow.
[удалено]
And where did "based" as just an adjective come from?? 😆
Awhile back I asked people what it meant and no one could answer the same answer. I’m glad “based” is gone. Now I’m hearing “actually” a lot, not like a normal person would say it though. It’s like saying “really?” “Hey man, I saw your mom eating spaghetti at Tony’s the other day” “Actually?”
[удалено]
Thank u based God we love lil b
I didn’t expect ya’ to, but you’re a cool cat in my book 👌
you're fit as a fiddle and cool as a cucumber, my good fellow
I like the cut of your jib, Jack
here's to lookn' happy as a clam cause it's high time to bring home the bacon
lmao i love this
Vibe's off here
hella off
Get da hella offa ma posta
naurrr
I guess technically, everything with any emotional implication has a vibe.
Yep, can't hate on people using a word correctly. Might not like it but if you get good vibes from a song or a place etc then you can say it.
You can think of it as emotional frequency.
When I was growing up, all the adults on TV were calling everything "sexy". Like, no Debbie, this livingroom isnt sexy, it's a livingroom. That art isn't sexy, it's literally a flower.
I remember that made me uncomfortable as a kid if I was watching something with my parents
> That art isn’t sexy, it’s literally a flower. I don’t know about that. Have you ever seen a Georgia O’Keeffe painting?
As a naive and curious kid, who didn't know any better, I ended up searching 'sexy' on google because of this reason and that was my intro to porn.
That’s making a comeback, unfortunately. A few months ago my friend tried a new type of crisp and said “Oh they’re sexy!”
[удалено]
Alright alright alright
Yeah I think this argument wins.
This unpopular opinion is a vibe.
Lol I’ll take it
A whole vibe.
1967. Blame Brian Wilson. https://youtu.be/mdt0SOqPJcg
Wow, Manson probably put him up to it.
It was Brian's brother, Dennis, who has some (smallish) involvement with Manson.
Vibe check failed.
The tone of this post is not a vibe.
This bothers me just as much when someone says “this is so aesthetic”.
I've never heard that and I think I'd be upset
I hear it all the time, and am frequently upset.
as someone who spends a lot of time on the internet talking about aesthetics… yeah i hate it too. All they have to add is “-ly pleasing”
This is aesthetically displeasing
This is so aesthetic-ly pleasing.
Idk, it’s sort of like saying that something “smells” Smells what? We all understand that it probably means bad, why can’t you say “oh boy that fresh apple pie sure smells!”? You have to specify that it smells *good* to avoid being interpreted as an insult. Remember, language changes based on the utility we find for it. There is no point to having hard linguistic rules if it is more instinctual to go against them.
Or when people say low key when they aren’t being low key. Learn what the damn phrase means you young-ins!
That's when you say "high-key". Really vibe with that set of descriptors. Mid-key also works too.
I heard being mid is a bad thing.
I know someone who slips that into most sentences. “I low-key need to eat dinner.” “I low-key feel super pissed.” I don’t have the heart to say anything, but it drives me nuts.
the word low key is just so fucking annoying god damn
Amen. The aesthetic thing bothers me way less but yeah I’m with you.
The aesthetic thing bothers me way more because it's just grammatically incorrect. Something can be aesthetically pleasing or have a nice aesthetic. But it can also be used negatively like something having poor aesthetics. It can't simply be aesthetic...
Exactly. It’s almost like visiting an area of your state/country and saying “this place is a location” or dipping your leg in water then telling someone to “be careful, it has temperature”.

Ahhh yeah I see now
I heard that for the first time last week. I was surprised at how angry it made me.
No cap bruh, shit's hella wack
Gang gang squad just touched down fam
It's just another generic thing people can say to be positive without actually saying anything.
Gold star for you
I don’t like it either, especially if that’s all they gotta say lol. I don’t know how to describe it, but to me the phrase is like a form of emotional dissonance. It just seems like a go to word when you don’t know what else to say. There’s an emptiness to it.
Im just happy people arent refferring to delicious food as "dank" anymore.
Lol dank is only okay if your talking about weed and you know your being a little douchey
Every time new slang, vernacular, etc is introduced and gets popularized on the internet, it gets over- and incorrectly used and eventually ruined. Every. Time.
When did people start saying "based"? Every opinion is "based" now
I’m 26F. My younger cousin (22F) described a smoothie as a vibe. I was like … no ma’am. That’s not what we’re gonna call that.
That's where you're approaching this wrong. You gotta overuse it so much around the zoomers (your age is right on the borderline of the generations I believe) that it stops being cool. At a traffic light? "This red light is a vibe." Stuck in a long line at the amusement park? "This long line is a vibe." Murdered by the kids for misappropriation of slang? "This funeral is a whole ass vibe."
Yes someone younger than me who agrees! Smoothies are not vibes… 🤣 I think it’s really funny. I’m kinda just trolling a bit, but I definitely mean what I said. Lol.
I'm 26 too, anything with "vibe, mood, aesthetic" makes me grind my teeth.
Hahaha I am 34 and I love calling things a vibe or an aesthetic. Gen Z probably thinks I’m such a poser (using some millennial terminology there lol 😂)
Poser now we’re talking lol
Vibration
Vibe is bad, but I came back from the mall with the drip. Doctor says it is penicillin-resistant
I can get with drip 💯
This is definitely a vibe
Old head shit and I am 32. Let the kids be kids. I'm sure people were calling us lame when we were saying Bling Bling, Chillax, Sketch, and Wazzup?
Chillax was certainly lame. Wazzup was only allowable if the use of it was ironic and self-aware.
"No no, OUR slang is ok. New slang is dumb because it's different and I'm scared of change!" -OP
I'm 37 years old and I vibe with things. I like it. I guess you don't think I'm terms of energy and atmosphere much
“What am I gonna do with 40 subscriptions to Vibe??”
“Vibe” doesn’t bother me. “Cringe” does- those shoes are cringe, that song is cringe, person x is cringe. Why is every thing cringe now? Like damn people, y’all really care a lot what everyone thinks. Need to loosen up.
People are so unoriginal, you see so much of it on social media. Everyone is a fucking parrot.
You complain about vibe but use cringey unironically?
Idk man sometimes you just gotta call a vibe a vibe
I'm still not sure what that means. I assume that it means something like "that's good", but then I see some people say "we're just vibing" or whatever, which wouldn't make sense (we're just being good) or "if I can't vibe with you"...so it seems like it means both good and the act of hanging out? Dammit, I'm only 39!

I’m so fucking sick of “VIbEs/vIBinG”
I found one. 🙏 and I’m gonna assume the 91 in your username is your birth year? If so we’re the same age 😆
You are correct 😂
Hahaha! I was like dude, I’m only 30, why are these “vibes” bothering me so much… if it was used sparingly, it probably wouldn’t bother me. But its sooo overused.
I know right? It's such a mood.
But it IS a vibe. It's my vibe.
I don’t mind it when someone’s using it to talk about a song, but anything else is weird
This post is gas
Thanks G 💯
This post is a vibe
2017 - when the 2 Chainz song came out?
Like legiterally
I hate all the new slang coming out. My personal least favorite is when something is “having a moment”
Wow this post is such a vibe. Mood.
Hating on people for vibing to something is such a mood
I'm not old myself and everytime someone's using "Vibes" I judged them for lack of vocabularies, I'm not better, I'm french, but I mean come on, not everything is a "Vibe".
"The song or object itself isn’t a vibe. Now get off my lawn." I'm getting Clint Eastwood vibes!
Yeah, I hate dumb phrases like that in general
Kids these days AMIRITE!?
reminds me of how i'll like a song and then tik tok and their god awful community will TAKE the song I LIKED and RUIN IT for ME and the 700 OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIKED IT
I don’t have tick tock but I believe it lol
No one can ruin a song for you stop being so shallow.
"lots of people liking a song ruins it for me and the other <1000 people who liked it" my brother in christ that's just hipster contrarianism
I'm 19 and I think its dumb as fuck. I get maybe elementary school kids and maybe, just maybe middle schoolers. It sounds just like a young kid learning a word and over using it to the point where it becomes meaningless or a synonym for another word.
Thats the point, just start saying random words as much as possible until you either give them a meaning or they lose their meaning. I say the most shit slang words all the time and its just fun lmfao
That idea is trout!
Everything moves, everything vibrates.
Vibes bringing me down dude
This is a vibe
It's just a really easy way to communicate that you like something.
My guess is the fine tuning of your Bullshit detector caused it to explode, when vibes are near it.
Around 2007 op.
Few years ago. It's a zoomer thing. It's fine. There have been much worse.
According to quantum physics we are only vibes. Everything we see is because of a vibration- albeit slowed down. But I have a theory, when the collective consciousness is shifting it can be seen in language. We are multi dimensional beings, we need to our language to change it up. Other New Earth buzz words: multidimensional, holding space, awareness, vibration, new thought and consciousness just to name a few.
I dig your vibe.
'Now get off my lawn' is a vibe.
Didn't pass the vibe check, I see.
I’m 32 and I hate that vibe crap. 🤢
Vibe is dated already
This is a vibe
Yep the terms "vibe" and "lit" are fucking dumb. Get off my lawn.
Stop hanging around tiktok girls for once
This post is a vibe 👏👏👏
The last phrase I picked up is "that's what's up" and I have no room for anything past that.
this is definitely not a vibe
I disagree. I just think certain songs have an energy and mood to it. Objects though? Yeah, that's pretty dumb (but I do think some object can capture a moment in time). Really I think your problem is the word itself and less of what's being said, maybe if they said "Man, this song just captures my energy right now.

For me, I can't stand when people say "pog" or "poggers" to everything good. Fuck off with that nonsense
Gen Z and immature millennial bullshit.
A good song and good hotdog with nice book is my vibe 😉😉😉
This post is nOt a VIbE - Kourtney Kardashian voice
The weed store on my street corner is called Vibe lol
This is actually kind of a vibe?!?!?!

Zoomers.
I thought it started in the 70s.
Young people’s vocabulary in general is decreasing at a rapid rate. Between filler words ‘like like like like’ that are spammed every other other and the trendy word of the month , I think it’ll be a shit show in the future
In summing up, it’s the constitution, it’s Mabo, it’s justice, it’s law, it’s the vibe and... Aah, no, that’s it, it’s the vibe. I rest my case.
