About
Just Vibin' is a slang term meaning to be relaxing and at peace with one's surroundings. Amidst the rise of the Vibe Check meme, "Just Vibin'" became associated with shitpost memes in which people commented on absurd situations by claiming the subjects were "just vibin'."
Origin
On September 20th, 2006, Urban Dictionary user Sophie Maxwell uploaded a definition for "vibin'" that reads, "to agree with someone."[1] On July 31st, 2010, user ashleysade' posted a definition more in line the way the word is used in "Just Vibin": "Just connecting with your surroundings – either it be music, reading, watching tv. – your vibin" (shown below).
Spread
In September of 2019, the phrase "Just Vibin'" grew popular on /r/okbuddyretard in shitpost parodies, often as a way of commenting on an absurd image, usually of a subject doing something unsettling but adding "not mad though, they're just vibin'." For example, on September 25th, 2019, user AlexTheBritish[2] posted the phrase to comment on a picture of a strange-looking dog, gaining over 3,600 likes (shown below, left). On October 5th, user its_me[3] posted the phrase as a caption, gaining over 5,800 points.
The meme has extended to Twitter, where users have used less absurd images in their parodies but have kept the same general vibe of "just vibin" memes. For example, user thebogglywoods used the phrase with King DeDeDe in Super Smash Brothers (shown below, left). User @moetoaster made a meme with the phrase using Hifumi Takimoto from the anime of the same name (shown below, right).
