I think everyone gets "vibes". It's the "feelings" you get as an individual about another person (or group of people). Sometimes it is just an instinct and sometimes it based on something more substantial about the person or group.
It's about listening to your intuition. Some are very in tune and others are not. My husband laughs off intuition. He doesn't generally get vibes about people but I do. Then he is mystified when someone turns out to be something they are not.
I generally get a vibe, something about a person doesn't feel right and I have no reasoning for it. Generally later, it becomes apparent why. My son is in tune with his intuition which I am grateful for. When he was in high school he stopped hanging out with a kid he had been friends with since Jr. high. I found it odd and asked if they had some sort of falling out. He said no, just his friend started spending time with another kid that he didn't like. I asked why he didn't like the new kid but my son had no reasoning for it. They all graduated and haven't spoken since. In the news a couple of weeks ago, the kid that he didn't care for was charged with murder. My son was surprised, he said he never felt like the kid was violent just something about him didn't feel right.
I think the phrase originated in the 60's/70's when talking about the energy, or vibrations (vibes) that people give off. As others have said, it's about listening to your intuition and feelings about a person or situation. If you meet someone who objectively appears generous and kind, but you have a feeling that they're not as nice as they seem, you're getting a "vibe" off of them.
I get vibes from situations also. Conversation, tone, body language, if things co-relate, or if they conflict with what I am seeing myself. If something just doesn't feel right.
That proverbial hunch and gut feeling. Listen to it. It is trying to tell you something.
I do think that often vibes come from something the subconscious has picked up that the conscious mind hasn't registered. For example, say you get a bad vibe from a stranger who is trying to convince you he is telling you the truth. Your subconscious may have noticed that the stranger won't look you in the eye except for quick glances or that he is using the same phrases when he talks that dishonest people in your past have used.
