Kira: Last night I saw a commercial for holidays in Istanbul with the tagline "Istanbulvibe!" Bruh, htf is this marketing an "Istanbul Vibe?". You are literally advertising Istanbul! This is the "real thing". "Istanbul Vibe" would imply something reminds you of Istanbul, not it being the real fucking thing!
Yvonne: Uh, another old woman yelling at cloud!
Didem: No, she's younger than you, and she's got a point. Vibes should imply that something reminds you of something else without actually being that something else. If it's the real thing, then that's not vibes, that's atmosphere or forms.
Kira: You think that's bad? If you try making "Vibe(s) as an urban dictionary entry, one of the gifs that comes up on Giphy is a gif saying "Weekend vibes". Bruh, if it's giving "Weekend Vibes", it's a fucking holiday. Why don't you celebrate the holiday like a normal person would before Vine ruined everyone's attention spans?
Yvonne: Kira, you just hate Gen-Z.
Kira: Yvonne, I grew up Adventure Time. You remember 9/11.
