What is the Viral Trend 6 7 ?

The "6-7" (or "6 7," "67") trend is this super random, nonsensical meme that's blown up mostly among kids and teens (Gen Alpha and Z) on TikTok, Instagram, and now spilling over to X and real life. It's basically just people yelling or typing "6-7" while doing a little up-and-down hand motion (like pumping your arms), often out of nowhere to annoy others or as an inside joke. The whole point is that it doesn't really mean anything, it's designed to be confusing, especially to adults, and that's what makes it funny to them.

It's silly and viral for no good reason, like a lot of these trends.

It kicked off earlier in 2025 from a rap song called "Doot Doot (6 7)" by a Philly artist named Skrilla, where he randomly ad-libs "6 7" in the lyrics (something like "6 7 opps so bagged up").

It got traction through TikTok edits, especially one tying it to NBA player LaMelo Ball, who's 6'7" tall, and then spread like wildfire as kids started using it in videos, classrooms, sports interviews, and everywhere else. Some folks try to overthink it, linking it to stuff like police code 10-67 (for a dead body) or just random height references, but most sources say it's intentionally meaningless, which is why it's so "brain rot"-y and irritating.

Examples from recent chatter:

Kids are derailing classes by shouting it (teachers hate it).

It's popped up in sports, like a hockey player saying "6-7" after a 7-6 win.

Even crypto folks are memeing it with coins or whatever.

One linguist called it a way for young people to build solidarity and independence from older gens.

If you're seeing it everywhere, that's the plague-like spread, harmless but inescapable. It's already being called the next "skibidi" or whatever random slang comes and goes.
