Gen Z-ers are no strangers to an internet fad.
Some of their suggestions include canceling skinny jeans and losing their mind over the ‘bed rotting’ trend.
But now there is something else that is taking Zoomers by storm.
In a TikTok video shared by Mady Maio – who is the co-host of the Okay Sis podcast – she claims to have ‘unintentionally started a movement’ that she promises will ‘change your life.’
This trend is known as ‘silent walking’ – and it’s generated quite the discussion online.
The reaction to this new trend has been mixed on social media, with some people sharing their experiences with ‘silent walking.’
One person writes: “I’ve been doing this for two months daily. And it’s GAME CHANGING.”
Another viewer shares: “I tried this! All my brain could think about was the last TikTok I saw. I had the ‘white people taco night’ song stuck in my head for an hour.”
“I love silent walking!! Great for manifesting,” adds a third.
However, others have mocked the video.
One person says: “Is this real? This is just walking… like how people did it before technology.”
“Gen Z just discovered walking y’all,” writes another person – accompanied by laughing emojis.
Someone else pens: “So just going for a walk like we all did in the 90s???”
So, what is ‘silent walking,’ you might ask? Well, let us explain.
It is actually something everyone pretty much did before technology became a significant part of our day-to-day life.
