Crying on the internet about something you know nothing about but looks sad to you, thinking you will change something, while doing absolutely fucking nothing.
Alex: Oh i see you are wanking. Good job of raising awareness.
John: Oh thanks, bro. I love doing absolutely fucking nothing.

A buzz word young people mainly Generation Z love to use to make it look like they are changing the world. They will often make a video about some 1st world problem to "raise awareness" and post it on social media. It may involve a "social experiment" to get people's reaction to something. The topic sometimes involves a word with "ism" at the end. It often involves creating a fake scenario, holding up a sign, asking people questions about something to get their reaction or posting a situation that should be kept private with the justification that they are raising awareness. Certain topics tend to become trendy and there will be a wave of videos of others posting the same scenario. Some people end up getting in trouble and say they were just raising awareness as they hold an ice pack on their swollen face.

Me: So did you get those clothes you wanted for Christmas?
Friend: Nope, I just got socks.
Me: Oh so your mom just gave you a McDonald's Raise?
Friend: Pretty much.

A tactic by the television comedian Steven Colbert to demonstrate the stupidity of the 2012 Republican presidential primary process by encouraging democratic and independent voters (as well as Colbert-supporting Republicans) to vote for resigned candidate Herman Cain in the South Carolina open primary vote rather than any candidate then pursuing the Republican Party nomination.
As Stephen Colbert said, "If you like me, you're gonna love voting for Herman Cain." The word of the day: "Raise Cain!"
