Sure enough, the vibe-central content started gaining serious traction. The following month, user began posting a peculiar image with the catchphrase “vibe check?” every morning. Though his tweet only received a little over 100 likes initially, it was enough to get the ball rolling. must have liked the way it sounded because he took the phrase to Twitter not long after.

It’s much simpler and more succinct, and most importantly, applicable to the memes that laden our screens today: Currently, Urban Dictionary’s top definition of ‘vibe check’ is one that was submitted by scarez_was_here back in 2019. Rastabonez’s definition appears more intrinsically linked to hippie culture, rather than a standalone explanation. However, this definition still falls short of the contemporary ‘vibe check’ we’ve come to expect. Huge thanks to the TRASH team with special shouts to Armand, Chihyu and Simon the Parent Company team Eden, Max and Umru Mike and Alex and the Yellow Spring 2020 team, and Alston and the Snap Kit team.Credit where credit is due, Rastabonez did lay the initial groundwork for this glorious meme by explaining its utility in a group setting.

Today, TRASH is no longer just a tool for making videos but a new platform for making and sharing vibey videos with friends, following others, getting notifications for when friends react and vibe check you, plus rich ways to share to established networks -like Snapchat - so you look that much cooler when you make vids ? Josh Constantine did an excellent write up on this for his newsletter, Moving Product. Our audience is young, so developing a feature from a meme that has the potential to be an online cult felt like the prefect way to come out of the gate with our new platform. Vibe check felt like an obvious phrase for videos our users were already describing as “vibey”/ Because of the personal nature, Snap is an obvious place to share them, and Snap is also the “operating system for Gen Z”. Not surprisingly, TRASH videos in Stories get more engagement than regular Stories, because video is just that much richer when it’s edited together well. TRASH videos are the evolution of Stories. They’re a lot like what you might see in people’s Stories on Social Media, short moments, feelings, jokes. The vids are super personal, meta and vibey, they’re often more like sharing a feeling more than a narrative story.
