Guess I'm old fashioned and expect people to talk properly not use slang.

It refers to people becoming more aware of broader issues and not blindly following what the media presents. For example, some youngsters are beginning to understand the down side of capitalism. They would say they are woke.
For a more relatable explanation, watch The Matrix and notice the characters "wake up" to the reality rather than taking the other pill and living in a fantasy world.
If you're woke, you feel enlightened by the underbelly of reality, and consider people who aren't woke, as sheeple.
