A
jack-o'-lantern
with 6-7 carved into it in 2025
6-7
(pronounced "
six seven
"; also written as
67
or
6 7
) is an
Internet meme
,
slang term
, and gesture
[
1
]
that was popularized in 2025 on
TikTok
and
Instagram Reels
.
[
2
]
It has no fixed meaning.
[
3
]
The phrase originated from the
drill rap
song "
Doot Doot (6 7)
" by American rapper
Skrilla
, which became popular in video
edits
featuring
professional basketball
players, especially
LaMelo Ball
, who is listed as 6 ft 7 in (2.01 meters) in height.
[
4
]
[
5
]
The meme was further popularized through
Overtime Elite
player
Taylen "TK" Kinney
's repeated use of the phrase.
[
6
]
In March 2025, a boy named Maverick Trevillian became known as the "67 Kid" after a viral video showed him yelling the term at a basketball game while performing an excited hand gesture.
[
7
]
The meme, described by some as "annoying" and "like a plague",
[
8
]
has been linked by multiple news outlets to the wider "
brainrot
" phenomenon—digital media deemed to be of poor quality.
[
9
]
Some commentators also see it as evidence of
Generation Alpha
's growing presence in
Internet culture
.
[
10
]
Origin
Sidewalk chalk
inscription referencing 6-7 on the campus of
Washington University
The slang originated from the
drill rap
song "Doot Doot (6 7)", in which American rapper
Skrilla
raps, "...
I know he dyin' (oh my, oh my God) 6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (Bip, bip)" as the
beat drops
.
[
11
]
[
12
]
The meaning of the number in the song remains ambiguous: some have connected it to 67th Street in Skrilla's hometown of
Philadelphia
,
[
13
]
or to 67th Street in
Chicago
.
[
14
]
[
11
]
Linguist
and African-American English expert Taylor Jones has speculated that it may refer to "10-67", the
ten-code
used by Philadelphia police to notify officers of a death.
[
15
]
: 9:36
[
16
]
This aligns with the previous lines' descriptions of
gun violence
and his interpretation that the line depicts the narrator playing innocent during a traffic stop.
[
15
]
: 7:20
Skrilla himself stated, "I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to."
[
13
]
The song was unofficially released in December 2024
[
17
]
and officially released on February 7, 2025.
[
18
]
It was soon used in video edits of professional basketball players, particularly
LaMelo Ball
, who is 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) tall.
[
17
]
A few weeks after the song's unofficial release,
[
19
]
Taylen Kinney
, a high school basketball prospect at
Overtime Elite
, became strongly associated with the phrase after a clip of him ranking a
Starbucks
drink by saying "six, seven" went viral on social media.
[
6
]
[
20
]
His repeated use of the phrase during Overtime Elite content led to his nickname "Mr. 6-7", and he later launched a "6-7"-branded canned water line.

Spread
A person doing the gesture associated with the "6-7" meme
The meme has been referenced in
NBA
highlights,
WNBA
news conferences,
NFL
touchdown celebrations, and by celebrities, including former NBA player
Shaquille O'Neal
, who participated in a video referring to it despite admitting he did not understand its meaning. Additionally, the term has been frequently used throughout the
college sports
.
[
21
]
[
6
]
As the meme expanded beyond sports, social media users began to employ the meme in unrelated contexts, such as joking about getting a score of 67% on an exam.
[
22
]
6-7's identity as a slang term has allowed it to spread in offline contexts, especially in schools,
[
10
]
with some banning its use due to disruption in classrooms.
[
23
]
In November 2025,
Keir Starmer
, the British
Prime Minister
, apologized to a headteacher after joining schoolchildren in the gesture when a schoolgirl sitting next to him noted the book they were reading was turned to pages 6 and 7; the gesture had been banned at the school.
[
24
]
[
25
]
[
26
]
[
27
]
[
17
]
Lawmaker
Bill Buckbee
, who represents the
67th District
in the
Connecticut House of Representatives
, jokingly used the phrase during a special legislative session.
[
28
]
Representative
Blake Moore
of
Utah's 1st congressional district
also made reference to the trend while
presiding over
the
United States House of Representatives
on November 18, 2025.
[
29
]
In December 2025,
JD Vance
, the
Vice President of the United States
, jokingly proposed to ban the use of the phrase after his 5-year-old child screamed "6-7" in the middle of a church service. Vance stated: "And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the
First Amendment
and ban these numbers forever."
[
30
]
The
moniker
"Mason" has been used to refer to a
stereotypical
white high school boy who overuses the
slang
.
[
31
]
During the
Christmas season
, several variants of Christmas songs incorporating the 6-7 meme and other
brain rot terms
were popular on platforms such as
TikTok
. One example was "67 Merry Rizzmas".
[
32
]
67 Kid
Maverick Trevillian, better known as the "67 Kid", at a fan meetup in
Venice Beach, California
, 2025
On March 31, 2025,
YouTuber
Cam Wilder posted a video titled "My Overpowered AAU Team has Finally Returned!" (stylized in all caps) in which a young boy, Maverick Trevillian
[
7
]
—later nicknamed the "67 Kid"—is seen yelling "six seven" while performing a hand gesture in which he moves his hands up and down with upward-facing palms.
[
31
]
[
33
]
[
34
]
In August 2025, social media users began creating photo edits distorting Trevillian in a bizarre or grotesque fashion, likened to
analog horror
. This meme, called "SCP-067 Kid", satirizes the
SCP Foundation
, a
collaborative fiction
project about
paranormal
anomalies. "SCP-067 Kid" is not related to the
canon
"SCP-067", which is described as a supernatural
fountain pen
.
[
31
]
[

]
[
36
]
[
improper synthesis?
]
Variants
41 (pronounced "forty-one") is a meme of similar origin, deriving from the song "41 Song (Saks Freestyle)" in which rapper Blizzi Boi raps the number throughout.
[
37
]
[
38
]
Another variant is 6-1 (pronounced "six one"), created by
TikTok
creator Spartan Swot with the intention of satirising the original clip.
[

]
Use by media and brands
Chicken nuggets from McDonald's UAE with the special "6(7)" sticker
On October 16, 2025, the
1st episode of season 28
of the adult animated show
South Park
aired
[
40
]
with a prominent plot point in which the children are brainwashed by the 6-7 meme. This season of
South Park
, along with season 27, also targeted other online trends such as
Labubus
,
TikTok
, and
prediction markets
.
[
41
]
In October, the mobile game
Clash Royale
added an
emote
referencing the meme after its
Instagram
account reached 6.7 million followers.
[
42
]
On November 5,
first-person shooter
video game
Overwatch 2
announced that it would be adding a "67" emote to the game.
[
43
]
On November 29, 2025,
Fortnite Battle Royale
teased their new Chapter 7 update with a reference to the 6-7 meme.
[
44
]
Following the update's release, the emote made its debut.
[
45
]
From November 6 to 7,
Pizza Hut
sold chicken wings for 67 cents each.
[
46
]
[
47
]
During the same period,
McDonald's
in the
United Arab Emirates
gave away free
Chicken McNuggets
between 6 and 7
p.m. Each 6-piece chicken pack featured a special "6(7)" sticker and contained seven nuggets instead of the usual six.
[
48
]
Domino's
offered members a one-topping pizza for $6.70 when they used the promo code "67".
[
49
]
Later, in December 2025,
Google
introduced an
Easter egg
in which typing "6-7", "67", or "6 7" causes a user's screen to shake up and down, mimicking the gesture associated with the meme.
[
50
]
Restaurant chain
In-N-Out
removed the number "67" from its ordering system after mobs of teenagers began to scream whenever the number was called out.
[
51
]
In February 2026, former US vice president
Kamala Harris
revived her social media campaign account "
Kamala HQ
" as "Headquarters 67" in an effort to connect with and "mobilize" young voters ahead of the 2026
US midterm elections
.
[
52
]
[
53
]
The handle was quickly changed the following day to remove the "67" reference after the rebranding was met with mockery, with some commenters describing Harris's attempt to appeal to young people with the "6-7" meme as "cringe" and "out of touch".
[
54
]
[
55
]
[
56
]
Decline
In March 2026,
Yahoo
reported that it had fallen out of popularity with all but the youngest children. Some teenagers interviewed referred to the "
Great Meme Reset
," and that those who still used the 6-7 meme were asked mocking questions such as "Who left you in 2025?" Furthermore, the outlet noted that the number of edits to the 6-7 meme page on
Wikipedia
had decreased over time.

]
Reception
11-year old Hilt Boling does the 6–7 gesture in
NASA
's
Kennedy Space Center
, April 2026
Multiple news outlets, such as
Business Insider
, have attributed the meme to the wider phenomenon of
brain rot
—the spread of digital media considered to be of poor quality.
[
9
]
Many viewed the meme as a sign of
Generation Alpha
's increasing involvement in Internet culture.
[
10
]
In October 2025,
Dictionary.com
named "67" as its 2025
Word of the Year
, describing the
interjection
as "a burst of energy that spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means".
[
58
]
The
Merriam-Webster
dictionary defines it as "a nonsensical expression connected to a song and a basketball player".
[
59
]
The
Swedish Institute for Language and Folklore
(
Institutet för språk och folkminnen
) included "six seven" in its 2025 new word list, also defining it as "a nonsensical expression".
[
60
]
[
61
]
Children's culture researchers Rebekah Willett, Amanda Levido, and Hyeon-Seon Jeong described the meme as a use of
secret language
by children similar to
Pig Latin
, the
Cool S
, the
L hand sign
, and
back slang
.
[
62
]
They cited the meme's low barrier to entry as a key factor in its popularity, allowing it to quickly spread across different cultural and language contexts.
[
62
]
Alphonse Pierre of
Pitchfork
lamented that, in exchange for virality, Skrilla had been reduced to a one-dimensional mascot, and "not a human artist with music packed with complicated views and morals worth considering".

2025 Internet meme and slang term
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Six-seven_jack-o-lantern,_Toronto_2025.jpg)
A [jack-o'-lantern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-o%27-lantern "Jack-o'-lantern") with 6-7 carved into it in 2025
**6-7** (pronounced "**six seven**"; also written as **67** or **6 7**) is an [Internet meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme "Internet meme"), [slang term](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_2020s_slang "Glossary of 2020s slang"), and gesture[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-1) that was popularized in 2025 on [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok") and [Instagram Reels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram_Reels "Instagram Reels").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-2) It has no fixed meaning.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-3)
The phrase originated from the [drill rap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_music "Drill music") song "[Doot Doot (6 7)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doot_Doot_\(6_7\) "Doot Doot (6 7)")" by American rapper [Skrilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrilla "Skrilla"), which became popular in video [edits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editing "Editing") featuring [professional basketball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_basketball "Professional basketball") players, especially [LaMelo Ball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMelo_Ball "LaMelo Ball"), who is listed as 6 ft 7 in (2.01 meters) in height.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:0-4)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-5) The meme was further popularized through [Overtime Elite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime_Elite "Overtime Elite") player [Taylen "TK" Kinney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylen_Kinney "Taylen Kinney")'s repeated use of the phrase.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6) In March 2025, a boy named Maverick Trevillian became known as the "67 Kid" after a viral video showed him yelling the term at a basketball game while performing an excited hand gesture.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-WP-7)
The meme, described by some as "annoying" and "like a plague",[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-8) has been linked by multiple news outlets to the wider "*[brainrot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_rot "Brain rot")*" phenomenon—digital media deemed to be of poor quality.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:6-9) Some commentators also see it as evidence of [Generation Alpha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Alpha "Generation Alpha")'s growing presence in [Internet culture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_culture "Internet culture").[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:8-10)
## Origin
Main article: [Doot Doot (6 7)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doot_Doot_\(6_7\) "Doot Doot (6 7)")
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:6-7_Meme_Washington_University.jpg)
[Sidewalk chalk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidewalk_chalk "Sidewalk chalk") inscription referencing 6-7 on the campus of [Washington University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_University_in_St._Louis "Washington University in St. Louis")
The slang originated from the [drill rap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_rap "Drill rap") song "Doot Doot (6 7)", in which American rapper [Skrilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrilla "Skrilla") raps, "... I know he dyin' (oh my, oh my God) 6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (Bip, bip)" as the [beat drops](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_drop "Beat drop").[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-azcentral-11)[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-12)
The meaning of the number in the song remains ambiguous: some have connected it to 67th Street in Skrilla's hometown of [Philadelphia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia "Philadelphia"),[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:1-13) or to 67th Street in [Chicago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago "Chicago").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-14)[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-azcentral-11) [Linguist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguist "Linguist") and African-American English expert Taylor Jones has speculated that it may refer to "10-67", the [ten-code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code "Ten-code") used by Philadelphia police to notify officers of a death.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-Jones2025-15): 9:36 [\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-16) This aligns with the previous lines' descriptions of [gun violence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence "Gun violence") and his interpretation that the line depicts the narrator playing innocent during a traffic stop.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-Jones2025-15): 7:20 Skrilla himself stated, "I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to."[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:1-13)
The song was unofficially released in December 2024[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:4-17) and officially released on February 7, 2025.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-18) It was soon used in video edits of professional basketball players, particularly [LaMelo Ball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMelo_Ball "LaMelo Ball"), who is 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) tall.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:4-17) A few weeks after the song's unofficial release,[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:7-19) [Taylen Kinney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylen_Kinney "Taylen Kinney"), a high school basketball prospect at [Overtime Elite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime_Elite "Overtime Elite"), became strongly associated with the phrase after a clip of him ranking a [Starbucks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starbucks "Starbucks") drink by saying "six, seven" went viral on social media.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6)[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-fox4kc-20) His repeated use of the phrase during Overtime Elite content led to his nickname "Mr. 6-7", and he later launched a "6-7"-branded canned water line.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6)[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-fox4kc-20)
## Spread
A person doing the gesture associated with the "6-7" meme
The meme has been referenced in [NBA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA "NBA") highlights, [WNBA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNBA "WNBA") news conferences, [NFL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL "NFL") touchdown celebrations, and by celebrities, including former NBA player [Shaquille O'Neal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O%27Neal "Shaquille O'Neal"), who participated in a video referring to it despite admitting he did not understand its meaning. Additionally, the term has been frequently used throughout the [college sports](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_sports "College sports").[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-21)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6)
As the meme expanded beyond sports, social media users began to employ the meme in unrelated contexts, such as joking about getting a score of 67% on an exam.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:3-22) 6-7's identity as a slang term has allowed it to spread in offline contexts, especially in schools,[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:8-10) with some banning its use due to disruption in classrooms.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-23) In November 2025, [Keir Starmer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer "Keir Starmer"), the British [Prime Minister](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister "Prime Minister"), apologized to a headteacher after joining schoolchildren in the gesture when a schoolgirl sitting next to him noted the book they were reading was turned to pages 6 and 7; the gesture had been banned at the school.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-24)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-25)[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-26)[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:2-27)[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:4-17)

Vance stated: "And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the [First Amendment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment "First Amendment") and ban these numbers forever."[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-30)
The [moniker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moniker "Moniker") "Mason" has been used to refer to a [stereotypical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypical "Stereotypical") white high school boy who overuses the [slang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang "Slang").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-HT-31)
During the [Christmas season](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_and_holiday_season "Christmas and holiday season"), several variants of Christmas songs incorporating the 6-7 meme and other [brain rot terms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_rot "Brain rot") were popular on platforms such as [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok"). One example was "67 Merry Rizzmas".[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-32)
### 67 Kid
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maverick_Trevillian,_also_known_as_the_%2267_Kid%22_on_a_dirt_bike_-_October_2025.png)
Maverick Trevillian, better known as the "67 Kid", at a fan meetup in [Venice Beach, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice,_Los_Angeles "Venice, Los Angeles"), 2025
On March 31, 2025, [YouTuber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTuber "YouTuber") Cam Wilder posted a video titled "My Overpowered AAU Team has Finally Returned!" (stylized in all caps) in which a young boy, Maverick Trevillian[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-WP-7)—later nicknamed the "67 Kid"—is seen yelling "six seven" while performing a hand gesture in which he moves his hands up and down with upward-facing palms.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-HT-31)[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-33)[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-34)
In August 2025, social media users began creating photo edits distorting Trevillian in a bizarre or grotesque fashion, likened to [analog horror](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_horror "Analog horror"). This meme, called "SCP-067 Kid", satirizes the [SCP Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCP_Foundation "SCP Foundation"), a [collaborative fiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_fiction "Collaborative fiction") project about [paranormal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal "Paranormal") anomalies. "SCP-067 Kid" is not related to the [canon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_\(fiction\) "Canon (fiction)") "SCP-067", which is described as a supernatural [fountain pen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_pen "Fountain pen").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-HT-31)[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-35)[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-36)\[*[improper synthesis?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Synthesis_of_published_material "Wikipedia:No original research")*\]
### Variants
41 (pronounced "forty-one") is a meme of similar origin, deriving from the song "41 Song (Saks Freestyle)" in which rapper Blizzi Boi raps the number throughout.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:5-37)[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-38) Another variant is 6-1 (pronounced "six one"), created by [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok") creator Spartan Swot with the intention of satirising the original clip.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-39)
### Use by media and brands

Chicken nuggets from McDonald's UAE with the special "6(7)" sticker
On October 16, 2025, the [1st episode of season 28](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_Christian "Twisted Christian") of the adult animated show *[South Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park "South Park")* aired[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-40) with a prominent plot point in which the children are brainwashed by the 6-7 meme. This season of *South Park*, along with season 27, also targeted other online trends such as [Labubus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labubu "Labubu"), [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok"), and [prediction markets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market "Prediction market").[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-41)
In October, the mobile game *[Clash Royale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_Royale "Clash Royale")* added an [emote](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emote "Emote") referencing the meme after its [Instagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram "Instagram") account reached 6.7 million followers.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-42) On November 5, [first-person shooter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-person_shooter "First-person shooter") video game *[Overwatch 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwatch_2 "Overwatch 2")* announced that it would be adding a "67" emote to the game.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-43) On November 29, 2025, *[Fortnite Battle Royale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortnite_Battle_Royale "Fortnite Battle Royale")* teased their new Chapter 7 update with a reference to the 6-7 meme.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-44) Following the update's release, the emote made its debut.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-45)
From November 6 to 7, [Pizza Hut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Hut "Pizza Hut") sold chicken wings for 67 cents each.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-46)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-47) During the same period, [McDonald's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s "McDonald's") in the [United Arab Emirates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates "United Arab Emirates") gave away free [Chicken McNuggets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_McNuggets "Chicken McNuggets") between 6 and 7 p.m. Each 6-piece chicken pack featured a special "6(7)" sticker and contained seven nuggets instead of the usual six.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-48) [Domino's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino%27s "Domino's") offered members a one-topping pizza for \$6.70 when they used the promo code "67".[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-49) Later, in December 2025, [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google "Google") introduced an [Easter egg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_Easter_eggs "List of Google Easter eggs") in which typing "6-7", "67", or "6 7" causes a user's screen to shake up and down, mimicking the gesture associated with the meme.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-50) Restaurant chain [In-N-Out](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-N-Out "In-N-Out") removed the number "67" from its ordering system after mobs of teenagers began to scream whenever the number was called out.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-51)
In February 2026, former US vice president [Kamala Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris "Kamala Harris") revived her social media campaign account "[Kamala HQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris_2024_presidential_campaign#Advertising "Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign")" as "Headquarters 67" in an effort to connect with and "mobilize" young voters ahead of the 2026 [US midterm elections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_elections "2026 United States elections").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-52)[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-53) The handle was quickly changed the following day to remove the "67" reference after the rebranding was met with mockery, with some commenters describing Harris's attempt to appeal to young people with the "6-7" meme as "cringe" and "out of touch".[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-54)[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-55)[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-56)
## Decline
In March 2026, [Yahoo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo "Yahoo") reported that it had fallen out of popularity with all but the youngest children. Some teenagers interviewed referred to the "[Great Meme Reset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Meme_Reset "Great Meme Reset")," and that those who still used the 6-7 meme were asked mocking questions such as "Who left you in 2025?" Furthermore, the outlet noted that the number of edits to the 6-7 meme page on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia "Wikipedia") had decreased over time.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-57)
## Reception
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hilt_Boling_and_Family_Tour_NASA%27s_Kennedy_Space_Center_\(NHQ20260403_admin_0004\).jpg)
11-year old Hilt Boling does the 6–7 gesture in [NASA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA "NASA")'s [Kennedy Space Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Space_Center "Kennedy Space Center"), April 2026
Multiple news outlets, such as *[Business Insider](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Insider "Business Insider")*, have attributed the meme to the wider phenomenon of [brain rot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_rot "Brain rot")—the spread of digital media considered to be of poor quality.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:6-9) Many viewed the meme as a sign of [Generation Alpha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Alpha "Generation Alpha")'s increasing involvement in Internet culture.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:8-10)
In October 2025, *[Dictionary.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary.com "Dictionary.com")* named "67" as its 2025 [Word of the Year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_of_the_Year "Word of the Year"), describing the [interjection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interjection "Interjection") as "a burst of energy that spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means".[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:9-58) The [Merriam-Webster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merriam-Webster "Merriam-Webster") dictionary defines it as "a nonsensical expression connected to a song and a basketball player".[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-59) The [Swedish Institute for Language and Folklore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Institute_for_Language_and_Folklore "Swedish Institute for Language and Folklore") (*Institutet för språk och folkminnen*) included "six seven" in its 2025 new word list, also defining it as "a nonsensical expression".[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-60)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-61)
Children's culture researchers Rebekah Willett, Amanda Levido, and Hyeon-Seon Jeong described the meme as a use of [secret language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_\(language\) "Cant (language)") by children similar to [Pig Latin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_Latin "Pig Latin"), the [Cool S](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S "Cool S"), the [L hand sign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loser_\(hand_gesture\) "Loser (hand gesture)"), and [back slang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_slang "Back slang").[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:10-62) They cited the meme's low barrier to entry as a key factor in its popularity, allowing it to quickly spread across different cultural and language contexts.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:10-62)
Alphonse Pierre of *[Pitchfork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitchfork_\(website\) "Pitchfork (website)")* lamented that, in exchange for virality, Skrilla had been reduced to a one-dimensional mascot, and "not a human artist with music packed with complicated views and morals worth considering".[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:7-19)

[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Six-seven_jack-o-lantern,_Toronto_2025.jpg)
A [jack-o'-lantern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-o%27-lantern "Jack-o'-lantern") with 6-7 carved into it in 2025
**6-7** (pronounced "**six seven**"; also written as **67** or **6 7**) is an [Internet meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme "Internet meme"), [slang term](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_2020s_slang "Glossary of 2020s slang"), and gesture[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-1) that was popularized in 2025 on [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok") and [Instagram Reels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram_Reels "Instagram Reels").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-2) It has no fixed meaning.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-3)
The phrase originated from the [drill rap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_music "Drill music") song "[Doot Doot (6 7)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doot_Doot_\(6_7\) "Doot Doot (6 7)")" by American rapper [Skrilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrilla "Skrilla"), which became popular in video [edits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editing "Editing") featuring [professional basketball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_basketball "Professional basketball") players, especially [LaMelo Ball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMelo_Ball "LaMelo Ball"), who is listed as 6 ft 7 in (2.01 meters) in height.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:0-4)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-5) The meme was further popularized through [Overtime Elite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime_Elite "Overtime Elite") player [Taylen "TK" Kinney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylen_Kinney "Taylen Kinney")'s repeated use of the phrase.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6) In March 2025, a boy named Maverick Trevillian became known as the "67 Kid" after a viral video showed him yelling the term at a basketball game while performing an excited hand gesture.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-WP-7)
The meme, described by some as "annoying" and "like a plague",[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-8) has been linked by multiple news outlets to the wider "*[brainrot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_rot "Brain rot")*" phenomenon—digital media deemed to be of poor quality.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:6-9) Some commentators also see it as evidence of [Generation Alpha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Alpha "Generation Alpha")'s growing presence in [Internet culture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_culture "Internet culture").[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:8-10)
Origin
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:6-7_Meme_Washington_University.jpg)
[Sidewalk chalk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidewalk_chalk "Sidewalk chalk") inscription referencing 6-7 on the campus of [Washington University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_University_in_St._Louis "Washington University in St. Louis")
The slang originated from the [drill rap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_rap "Drill rap") song "Doot Doot (6 7)", in which American rapper [Skrilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrilla "Skrilla") raps, "... I know he dyin' (oh my, oh my God) 6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (Bip, bip)" as the [beat drops](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_drop "Beat drop").[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-azcentral-11)[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-12)
The meaning of the number in the song remains ambiguous: some have connected it to 67th Street in Skrilla's hometown of [Philadelphia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia "Philadelphia"),[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:1-13) or to 67th Street in [Chicago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago "Chicago").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-14)[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-azcentral-11) [Linguist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguist "Linguist") and African-American English expert Taylor Jones has speculated that it may refer to "10-67", the [ten-code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code "Ten-code") used by Philadelphia police to notify officers of a death.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-Jones2025-15): 9:36 [\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-16) This aligns with the previous lines' descriptions of [gun violence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence "Gun violence") and his interpretation that the line depicts the narrator playing innocent during a traffic stop.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-Jones2025-15): 7:20 Skrilla himself stated, "I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to."[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:1-13)
The song was unofficially released in December 2024[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:4-17) and officially released on February 7, 2025.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-18) It was soon used in video edits of professional basketball players, particularly [LaMelo Ball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMelo_Ball "LaMelo Ball"), who is 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) tall.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:4-17) A few weeks after the song's unofficial release,[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:7-19) [Taylen Kinney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylen_Kinney "Taylen Kinney"), a high school basketball prospect at [Overtime Elite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime_Elite "Overtime Elite"), became strongly associated with the phrase after a clip of him ranking a [Starbucks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starbucks "Starbucks") drink by saying "six, seven" went viral on social media.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6)[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-fox4kc-20) His repeated use of the phrase during Overtime Elite content led to his nickname "Mr. 6-7", and he later launched a "6-7"-branded canned water line.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6)[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-fox4kc-20)
Spread
A person doing the gesture associated with the "6-7" meme
The meme has been referenced in [NBA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA "NBA") highlights, [WNBA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNBA "WNBA") news conferences, [NFL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL "NFL") touchdown celebrations, and by celebrities, including former NBA player [Shaquille O'Neal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O%27Neal "Shaquille O'Neal"), who participated in a video referring to it despite admitting he did not understand its meaning. Additionally, the term has been frequently used throughout the [college sports](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_sports "College sports").[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-21)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-NY-6)
As the meme expanded beyond sports, social media users began to employ the meme in unrelated contexts, such as joking about getting a score of 67% on an exam.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:3-22) 6-7's identity as a slang term has allowed it to spread in offline contexts, especially in schools,[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:8-10) with some banning its use due to disruption in classrooms.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-23) In November 2025, [Keir Starmer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer "Keir Starmer"), the British [Prime Minister](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister "Prime Minister"), apologized to a headteacher after joining schoolchildren in the gesture when a schoolgirl sitting next to him noted the book they were reading was turned to pages 6 and 7; the gesture had been banned at the school.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-24)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-25)[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-26)[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:2-27)[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:4-17)

Vance stated: "And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the [First Amendment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment "First Amendment") and ban these numbers forever."[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-30)
The [moniker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moniker "Moniker") "Mason" has been used to refer to a [stereotypical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypical "Stereotypical") white high school boy who overuses the [slang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang "Slang").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-HT-31)
During the [Christmas season](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_and_holiday_season "Christmas and holiday season"), several variants of Christmas songs incorporating the 6-7 meme and other [brain rot terms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_rot "Brain rot") were popular on platforms such as [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok"). One example was "67 Merry Rizzmas".[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-32)

[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maverick_Trevillian,_also_known_as_the_%2267_Kid%22_on_a_dirt_bike_-_October_2025.png)
Maverick Trevillian, better known as the "67 Kid", at a fan meetup in [Venice Beach, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice,_Los_Angeles "Venice, Los Angeles"), 2025
On March 31, 2025, [YouTuber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTuber "YouTuber") Cam Wilder posted a video titled "My Overpowered AAU Team has Finally Returned!" (stylized in all caps) in which a young boy, Maverick Trevillian[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-WP-7)—later nicknamed the "67 Kid"—is seen yelling "six seven" while performing a hand gesture in which he moves his hands up and down with upward-facing palms.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-HT-31)[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-33)[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-34)
In August 2025, social media users began creating photo edits distorting Trevillian in a bizarre or grotesque fashion, likened to [analog horror](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_horror "Analog horror"). This meme, called "SCP-067 Kid", satirizes the [SCP Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCP_Foundation "SCP Foundation"), a [collaborative fiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_fiction "Collaborative fiction") project about [paranormal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal "Paranormal") anomalies. "SCP-067 Kid" is not related to the [canon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_\(fiction\) "Canon (fiction)") "SCP-067", which is described as a supernatural [fountain pen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_pen "Fountain pen").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-HT-31)[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-35)[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-36)\[*[improper synthesis?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Synthesis_of_published_material "Wikipedia:No original research")*\]
Variants
41 (pronounced "forty-one") is a meme of similar origin, deriving from the song "41 Song (Saks Freestyle)" in which rapper Blizzi Boi raps the number throughout.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:5-37)[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-38) Another variant is 6-1 (pronounced "six one"), created by [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok") creator Spartan Swot with the intention of satirising the original clip.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-39)

In October, the mobile game *[Clash Royale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_Royale "Clash Royale")* added an [emote](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emote "Emote") referencing the meme after its [Instagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram "Instagram") account reached 6.7 million followers.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-42) On November 5, [first-person shooter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-person_shooter "First-person shooter") video game *[Overwatch 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwatch_2 "Overwatch 2")* announced that it would be adding a "67" emote to the game.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-43) On November 29, 2025, *[Fortnite Battle Royale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortnite_Battle_Royale "Fortnite Battle Royale")* teased their new Chapter 7 update with a reference to the 6-7 meme.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-44) Following the update's release, the emote made its debut.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-45)

In February 2026, former US vice president [Kamala Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris "Kamala Harris") revived her social media campaign account "[Kamala HQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris_2024_presidential_campaign#Advertising "Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign")" as "Headquarters 67" in an effort to connect with and "mobilize" young voters ahead of the 2026 [US midterm elections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_elections "2026 United States elections").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-52)[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-53) The handle was quickly changed the following day to remove the "67" reference after the rebranding was met with mockery, with some commenters describing Harris's attempt to appeal to young people with the "6-7" meme as "cringe" and "out of touch".[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-54)[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-55)[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-56)
Decline
In March 2026, [Yahoo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo "Yahoo") reported that it had fallen out of popularity with all but the youngest children. Some teenagers interviewed referred to the "[Great Meme Reset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Meme_Reset "Great Meme Reset")," and that those who still used the 6-7 meme were asked mocking questions such as "Who left you in 2025?" Furthermore, the outlet noted that the number of edits to the 6-7 meme page on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia "Wikipedia") had decreased over time.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-57)
Reception
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hilt_Boling_and_Family_Tour_NASA%27s_Kennedy_Space_Center_\(NHQ20260403_admin_0004\).jpg)

Multiple news outlets, such as *[Business Insider](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Insider "Business Insider")*, have attributed the meme to the wider phenomenon of [brain rot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_rot "Brain rot")—the spread of digital media considered to be of poor quality.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:6-9) Many viewed the meme as a sign of [Generation Alpha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Alpha "Generation Alpha")'s increasing involvement in Internet culture.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:8-10)
In October 2025, *[Dictionary.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary.com "Dictionary.com")* named "67" as its 2025 [Word of the Year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_of_the_Year "Word of the Year"), describing the [interjection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interjection "Interjection") as "a burst of energy that spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means".[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:9-58) The [Merriam-Webster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merriam-Webster "Merriam-Webster") dictionary defines it as "a nonsensical expression connected to a song and a basketball player".[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-59) The [Swedish Institute for Language and Folklore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Institute_for_Language_and_Folklore "Swedish Institute for Language and Folklore") (*Institutet för språk och folkminnen*) included "six seven" in its 2025 new word list, also defining it as "a nonsensical expression".[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-60)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-61)
Children's culture researchers Rebekah Willett, Amanda Levido, and Hyeon-Seon Jeong described the meme as a use of [secret language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_\(language\) "Cant (language)") by children similar to [Pig Latin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_Latin "Pig Latin"), the [Cool S](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S "Cool S"), the [L hand sign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loser_\(hand_gesture\) "Loser (hand gesture)"), and [back slang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_slang "Back slang").[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:10-62) They cited the meme's low barrier to entry as a key factor in its popularity, allowing it to quickly spread across different cultural and language contexts.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:10-62)
Alphonse Pierre of *[Pitchfork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitchfork_\(website\) "Pitchfork (website)")* lamented that, in exchange for virality, Skrilla had been reduced to a one-dimensional mascot, and "not a human artist with music packed with complicated views and morals worth considering".[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme#cite_note-:7-19)
