The vibecession is also about the shift from robust to vulnerable forms of fulfillment of minimum basket of goods (random combining an obscure concept from Sklansky’s No Limit Hold ’em Theory and Practice and a general economic concept, but no, these are meaningful formalisms and they do go together). I get just in time paychecks to pay monthly rent from my several gig jobs that could cease being tenable if the price of gas varies too much, or my seventh one-year-long tech startup job or whatever. This may be an issue of the semantics of precarity becoming visible because the actual fundamentals of finances are unobfuscated and not there actually being more precarity. But a second thing also happens: slightly smarter people become aware that different forms of financialization can confuse the semantics of different people and obfuscate fundamentals. And this thought process can be further generalized. And then people start seeing demons everywhere.
