    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.

      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.

      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-doo
        

        Which, 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.
