About

I Bring a Sort Of X Vibe to the Y is a phrasal template originating from a tweet that reads, "I Bring a Sort of 'We Should All Quit' Vibe to the Workplace That Bosses Don't Really Like that was first posted in April 2021. A year later, a TikToker posted a video using the phrase, which was screenshotted and became an exploitable image macro template where users recaption "we should all quit" and the latter half of the phrase to alter the context.
