What it means
Vibing means you're relaxed, tuned into the moment, and letting the mood carry itself. Could be music, could be the room, could be the people. If someone says are we vibing, they mean does this feel right. If they say just vibing, they're basically saying nothing deep, just chilling and feeling good.

Where it comes from
It comes from vibe, a word that took off in 20th century English for the mood or feel a person, place, or moment gives off. Vibing showed up later as the natural verb form, meaning you're actively sitting in that energy, catching the mood, and moving with it.
