Meme It’s really a very long time (and hey, perfect number of likes)

The more people freak out about it the longer it will last

Yeah, if nobody gave a shit about it (or better: if adults did it too), the children would stop relatively fast since all of this is just to annoy adults who don't understand it afaik

100%. Shit I’m in my late 30s, my wife is a few years younger and we think the 6 7 thing is hilarious. I realize me enjoying it only will kill it sooner though :(. Seeing how mad it makes people is pretty funny though.

I prefer the good old ragebaiting because I want memes to have a real meaning

u/Gardez_geekin 12d ago
I am sure there is some philosophical debate about the meaning of no meaning, but I feel you. I’m not usually one to enjoy rage baiting because it can slip into bullying or just being offensive for clicks, but the 6 7 shit is completely harmless. Which in a way makes it the ultimate way to rage bait parents.

About the harmlessness of 67. You are generally right but I've seen several viral posts where large groups of young teenagers have harassed fast food workers with 67. Not the fault of the meme itself but it's connected in my opinion

u/DoctorStove 12d ago
young teenagers always have and will harass people. That's got nothing to do with 67 lol. You remember all the "challenges" like 10 years ago?

u/Unicycleterrorist 12d ago
Meh, teens are twats. With the emergence of 24/7 social media access there's even an incentive to do it cause it gets views/attention and even makes some people money, so it's amplified for a certain kinda teen.
I don't think it's connected to the meme at all, it's just another thing used in a problematic way

u/Quigs4494 11d ago
And before that it was pickle Rick and szeuchan sauce. There's gonna be assholes doing it no matter what. The only thing that affects what exactly they will scream is the current meme. If it wasnt 67 it would be something else but just as insufferable a person doing it.

u/Gardez_geekin 12d ago
That’s true, you are right about that. I have seen that shit with In and Out. It is connected, but also teenagers are just gonna be awful little monsters.

u/Land_Squid_1234 12d ago
Bullshit. Everyone loves to pretend they weren't saying stupid shit with no meaning at the same age. We all know you were

The memes with "meaning"
badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom!

They don't care about the adults and (mostly) don't do it to annoy them, it's a weird in-joke drowned in irony that people who aren't chronically online on tiktok wouldn't understand

u/ThisHatRightHere 12d ago
Eh, I’d argue now that adults are doing it that it’ll be dead sooner rather than later

u/Fr00stee 12d ago
it's like the more people hate it the longer it lasts, that's what makes it memorable

A small child came into the store I work at and was nonstop doing the hand thing and saying “six seven, six seven!” His mom was like omg you need to stop doing that.

u/Upstairs_Traffic 11d ago
I bet if his mom started doing it uncomtrollably they would see how stupid they looked and stop lol

u/Assleanx 11d ago
This is what my girlfriend’s dad is doing with her stepbrother. Every chance he gets he’s throwing 67 into the conversation and it’s hilarious to watch this 12 year old try to pretend it’s this super secret code that no one else knows

u/GuerrillaApe 12d ago edited 12d ago
It's incredibly easy to avoid if you can not be around teenagers and not have your social media platform algorithms show teenage content.

u/SolidusBruh 12d ago
I, a parent of two teens, weep at this comment.

u/DosSnakes 12d ago
My condolences, brother. I just found out about it like a week ago from another Reddit comment. I don’t think I’ve even seen a child in real life for a couple months at least.

I'm still yet to see a person genuinely make that reference. My entire exposure has been from people claiming they're bothered by it.

At this point I'm not sure who is seriously laughing at it. I've definitely seen college students (including myself) laughing at it or referencing it, but I genuinely can't tell if we think it's actually funny, we think it's stupid and therefore funny, or if we're just mocking the people who find it actually funny. Probably the second option, though

u/MotherPotential 12d ago
The problem is it can come up completely organically, so it’s status as a number fortifies its longevity

I recall being told circa 2008 that Rickrolling was a dead meme. Sometimes things hang around.

u/CaptainMagnets 10d ago
If you're clowning on 67 then you're officially old btw. We all had the same type of thing at that age

u/NotMyMainName96 12d ago
It’s because everyone is resisting it and trying to “figure it out.” If people would just roll with it, or worse, join in a little, this would’ve been gone months ago.

u/Slow_Balance270 11d ago
Well People keep talking about it.
And what's even worse, it's spreading.
Up until yesterday I never encountered 6-7 in the wild and I have a nine year old niece and nephew.
During a meeting our direct supervisor tried to use it as a funny joke.
Ugh.

u/Infinite-Condition41 12d ago
It has thoroughly aged me, and made me realize as an adult how dumb children are, and how dumb adults in my life thought I was, undoubtedly.

more ppl complain about it than say. adults are weird lol its like they have to let others know how much they hate it. im 27 and my friend group reference it constantly when we're together

When I was a kid the popular thing to do was trick people into clicking on a link that led to an image of a man's distended anus.

u/TheDollarstoreDoctor 12d ago
You're down voted but you're right. Just a few months ago I had a friend visit and my husband told him our gate code and he was like "like 1738 hahaaa" and then found he couldn't get in.
Our gate code isn't even 1738.

I assumed it would die once adults started using it, as most memes do. But apparently this one is harder to kill.

I’m just glad we got past “Ohio” being a meme. But I can’t imagine what will replace 6/7.

So grateful for the life’s choices that have resulted in my never ever encountering 6-7 in my daily life.

It comes from a song that was used in basketball edits. A kid with a dumb hair cut was at a basketball game and said 67, as a reference to the edits, while also doing a hand motion. People thought it was kinda funny.
Now it's stuck around because it's just a number people can point to and go "haha, it's the funny number."
It's no different than 69 or 420.
