About

The 61 Meme, also known as 61 New Meme or Six Swan, refers to a series of videos and memes about the number "61," also known as "6-1" or "six, one," being a new meme to replace the 6-7 meme, also known as "67" or "six, seven." The forced meme followed the example of the 41 Meme and 93 Meme, which both were posed as replacements of 67 in 2025. The 61 Meme was started by TikToker Spartan Swot (@spartanswotuae) in mid-October 2025, who recorded himself standing in a bathroom and staring menacingly at the viewer while doing a fast version of the 67 hand gesture while repeating "six, one, six one." The way he said the numbers sounded like "six swan" to some.
