good vibes

Warm, welcoming atmosphere

Good vibes are positive feelings or an agreeable atmosphere.

The phrase emerged from 1960s counterculture, where vibrations described the energy people or places emanated.

Now mainstream: This coffee shop has good vibes, I'm getting good vibes from the new manager.

Often shortened to just vibes: The vibes are immaculate.

The opposite is bad vibes.
