It was a term people - mostly minorities in the US - used back in 2015. Being woke means being conscious of the broader social context you are operating in and the ways it influences your thoughts and actions and those of the people around you. Not a while lot different from the whole “red pill” concept. Only prior to 2016 “woke” was only used by cool people - as opposed to incels in PUA forums (heh). Proper usage would have been something like, “Stay woke brother. Don’t let these mfs get you going sideways”. Sometime after 2016 it got picked up by lame people - i.e the type who wanted to censor 2LiveCrew back in the day - and now it any time you hear someone using the term “woke” it is a pretty strong indicator that they are lame and utterly devoid of swagger. Like 100x more cringe than saying “yeet” or dabbing on fools in 2023.
