Vibecession

Vibecession refers to a period marked by a collective sense of disconnection or dissatisfaction, often driven by societal changes or economic shifts, where individuals feel a lack of alignment with cultural or social trends. This term blends “vibe” and “recession,” suggesting a downturn in positive social energy. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many experienced a vibecession due to isolation and disruption of normal life. Another case could be the rise of Social Media leading to feelings of inadequacy, contributing to a vibecession among younger generations.
