People who were born in the middle of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2010s are known as Generation Z, and they frequently consider themselves to be significant members of modern society. Their influence is often demonstrated by a variety of trends, such the movement to phase out narrow jeans and the passionate reaction to the “bed rotting” issue.
But the newest trend enthralling Zoomers transcends style or bedroom furnishings; it’s known as Silent Walking.
Co-host of the Okay Sis podcast Mady Maio presents a trend she unwittingly started in a TikTok video. Promoted as a paradigm-shifting movement, “silent walking.” Silent walking harkens back to a time when individuals enjoyed the simplicity of a walk without the burden of smartphones, music, podcasts, or any other technical distractions, in contrast to the contemporary technologically driven world.
In the video, Maio promotes going on a stroll by yourself, without the use of podcasts, music, or AirPods. She talks about the first two minutes of mayhem, but at first she hesitates because she is nervous. eventually reaches a “flow state,” in which she says she has attained clarity. Silent strolling, in Maio’s opinion, created room for reflection. enabling her to use her intuition and to hear the universe’s whispers.

Critics point out that it is ironic to hail a simple, tech-free stroll as groundbreaking. wondering if Generation Z has really discovered a long-standing custom. Phrases such as “Gen Z just discovered walking y’all” highlight the novelty attached to a daily activity that previous generations were familiar with.

People’s mockery of the idea that going for a 30-minute walk without using any electronics is “game-changing” illustrates how much technology has ingrained itself into daily life. This phenomenon is consistent with research showing negative effects on mental health from excessive online activity.
Science can contribute something significant.
According to scientific studies, an excessive dependence on digital devices can seriously impair cognitive functions and lead to sloppy thinking. These are necessary for comprehending and turning data into knowledge. Essentially, the quiet walking movement raises questions and provokes laughter, but it also speaks to something deeper. the difficult balancing act between our hyperconnected world’s need for self-reflection and simple times with the integration of technology.
The debate around silent walking highlights how Generation Z’s connection with technology—whether viewed as a game-changing discovery or as a nostalgic trip back to a time before technology—is changing.
