okay so i've been seeing this everywhere and finally figured out what's going on with kids just randomly yelling '67' at each other. apparently it all started from this rapper skrilla's song 'doot doot' from 2024 where he just throws in 'six, seven' with literally no meaning behind it. like he actually told wall street journal he never gave it an actual meaning and doesn't want to, which is probably why it caught on so hard lol.

the 67 trend really blew up because of nba player lamelo ball who's literally 6'7" and people started making tiktoks of him to the song. now kids just yell it at him whenever they see him. there was also this viral video from a basketball game where some kid just screams 'six, seven' into the camera and the whole internet ran with it. apparently over 2 million posts have the #67 hashtag at this point.

teachers are losing their minds over this. some banned it from their classrooms, others are like 'you're idiots' when kids do it, but then some smart teachers figured out they can use 'six, seven' as a call-and-response to get kids to shut up lol. one teacher even gave a whole math test where every answer was 67. south park even made an episode about it where they showed the students acting like they're in some cult about the numbers.

the whole thing is basically what people call 'brain rot'—just meaningless internet memes that don't actually mean anything but spread anyway. gen z and millennials have been posting about how the 67 trend makes them feel ancient because they don't get why kids find it funny. it's wild how something so random and pointless became such a massive thing with gen alpha
