“6 7″…What does it mean? Why are the children obsessed?
This morning on the show Vilma & Clinton attempted to get to the bottom of it…
We ended up asking the internet and it had this for us:
“6 7” is a viral Gen Alpha meme from TikTok that’s more about chaotic humor than actual meaning. It’s pronounced “six seven” (not sixty-seven) and often paired with exaggerated hand gestures or reaction videos.
🔍 What’s Behind “6 7”?
- Origin: The phrase comes from the drill rap song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla, which references 67th Street in Chicago.
- Popularization: It blew up thanks to TikTok edits featuring basketball player LaMelo Ball, who’s 6’7″ tall, and viral clips like the “67 Kid” yelling it at a game.
- Meaning: Honestly? It’s mostly nonsensical internet humor—a kind of “brain rot” meme that Gen Z and Gen Alpha use for laughs. The randomness is the joke.
🧠 Why It Works
- It’s catchy, absurd, and easy to remix.
- It taps into the trend of meaningless but viral slang—like “rizz” or “skibidi”—that spreads fast and fades just as quickly.
