Morphology
bummery + vibe
The head 'vibe' clearly denotes an atmosphere, and 'bummery' appears to be a nonstandard derivation from 'bummer' signaling a negative or gloomy quality. Because the modifier is a nonce/creative form and its formation is irregular (not a fully conventional adjective), the negative meaning is inferable but not fully predictable to a B1 learner, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Bummery vibe comes from bummer, a simple word for a big disappointment, and vibe, a casual word for the feeling in a place. One popular picture is people sighing and looking down in a room, and that sad, heavy feeling is the 'gloomy' or 'negative' feeling the phrase now means.
