Reject all vibes. Whatever is supposedly emanating from TikTok according to six people you know from a group chat, you can let it waft by like a bad smell. Remember that these are synthetically produced moods created by online influencers and there is never any need for you to be demure or brat or trad. That’s their hustle, not yours. Feel free also to reject anyone who tries to theorize about vibes. Yes, that includes vibe shifts.
Pamela Paul advises us to reject all vibes in her piece on how to remain a reality-based human in 2025. I especially appreciated her words previously in the post about not needing to have an equal and opposite reaction to everything D. Trump does.
