[ SLANG ][ EMOTION ][ NOUN ]
The fine adjustment someone makes to their own energy level to match a room's actual mood, distinct from 'mood calibration' by focusing on outward projection rather than internal state.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Walked in way too hype for a study session, had to do a quick vibe calibration once I saw everyone's faces."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends 'mood calibration' outward — not fixing what you feel, just fixing what you're visibly putting out to match the room.
