The “vibecession” is very strange to me. Despite seeing countless analyses and hot-takes, I still feel like I don’t really get it. I haven’t seen any smoking gun explanation.
I was introduced to this by an HN discussion a few months back:

It's the closest thing I've seen to a once-shot explanation of the "vibe-cession" phenomenon, because, I think, it's a better metric of most people's experience of the current economy than the official measures. What do you think of it?
