Ahhh 6 7 lol gestures
It’s just 23 Skidoo after inflation.
Long live 69
420 wants a word.
Yes, 69 is way better when 420 comes first.
The whole 67 thing has really outed every older generation as just as bad as the ones they themselves complained about as teenagers.
The whole point of it was always that it has no point, and y’all get weirdly mad about it, just like every single generation has always been mad at those “damn kids”. The truth is, it’s just as dumb as troll comics, asdf movies, “whatcha say” skits, or loss.
But like other ones had a meeting
69 referred to the sex act 420 referred to weed Even stupid obnoxious ones like yolo meant you only live once and people would say it when they do something that had a risk Or things like Kobe which was meant to have skill like Kobe
But 67 means nothing and isn’t even a reference which is why people are confused by it
Well it’s provenance was from
6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (Bip, bip) Skrrt, uh (Bip, bip, bip) I just bipped right on the highway (Bip) Trackhawk, mm, sittin' in the driveway (Skrrt) Uh, pull up, doot-doot, doo-doo-dooWhich, translated is “I have committed a car jacking / stolen a car and during the commission of this crime, have murdered someone”
it then came to prominence in being cut over footage of a basketball player who is 6’7" - using dramatic irony to suggest his height is murderous in the game.
I welcomed it when my daughter did it and thought it was funny.
I’d be much more concerned if it was like that trend of smoking tide pods or something like that. 6 7 is harmless.
Its like every older generation just doesn’t want kids to have fun, at all. A tale as old as time.
I looked up the “meaning” behind it when the kids started saying it, then started using it (almost unintentionally), and they have broken the habit on their own. No harm, no foul, just no longer something fun to annoy adults with.
And these kids will do the same when they are older, and on it goes
Gosh the author is rather pompous about this
Alas, what started in their network soon became a social currency for adults online. Gen Xers and Millennials—the parents of today’s middle schoolers—couldn’t leave six-seven be; they’re accustomed to burning through such memes like their parents or grandparents did cigarettes, as if culture writ large can withstand habitual abuse. Social-media-influencer culture also latched on to the phrase for its own attentional ends, as did brands, the indefatigable scavengers. These forces stole six-seven from the kids who had nurtured it.
Yeah ok. It was a song lyric first and then became a TikTok basketball video meme. It was an adult meme that kids latched onto. How dare adults continue to use it and destroy childlore or whatever?
