[ SLANG ][ PSYCHOLOGY ]
An accumulated backlog of unprocessed bad moods or stress that eventually demands a disproportionate emotional reaction to clear.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I wasn't even mad about the coffee spill, that was just vibe debt from the whole week collecting interest."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named analogously to financial debt — small unaddressed bad vibes compound silently until something minor triggers the full payout.
