Morphology

creepo + vibe

The noun 'vibe' clearly denotes an atmosphere and the sense of 'creepo' is transparently derivable as a slang/colloquial form related to 'creepy' or 'creep', so the combined meaning ('a creepy, unsettling atmosphere') follows compositionally. However, 'creepo' is nonstandard and absent from the dictionary entry provided, and its slang formation may not be predictable or familiar to a B1 learner, so full comprehension without prior exposure is uncertain.

Etymology

Creepo vibe comes from two words: creepo, a slang form of the word 'creepy', and vibe, a short way to say a feeling or the energy someone or some place gives. Imagine a quiet room or a person's look that makes you nervous; that bad feeling is the picture behind the phrase, so creepo vibe means 'an uneasy or suspicious feeling'.
