Usage notes

 * Like and,  started off as a positive word used by people to describe themselves and their behavior but, in some contexts, gained negative connotations over time.  Some derogatory uses of woke refer to people who would self-identify as woke or to people whose actions are deemed to be overzealous, performative, or insincere. Futhermore, the widespread negative use of woke, including within mainstream politics, led to its sarcastic or ironic use to lament non-existent restrictions or to deride subjects that are objectionable for reasons unrelated to political correctness, most widely in the catchphrase "because of woke."
