About

67 Meme, also known as 6-7 Meme, Six Seven Meme or 6-7 Song, refers to a lyric in the song "Doot Doot" by Skrilla featuring G Herbo, a hip-hop song released in December 2024, that was popularized on TikTok and Instagram Reels in January 2025. That month, the song and its "6-7" lyric became the subject of a variety of videos, notably including edits of the basketball player LaMelo Ball, who is 6' 7" in height. The LaMelo Ball editors found clips of people saying "six, seven" and then used them as the intros for Ball highlight reels. Skrilla's "6-7" lyric was used to queue the bait-and-switch.

The NBA edits established a perception that saying the numbers in a video could inspire an NBA editor to use the clip for an edit, similar to other trends like Grab The Camera For A Lamar Jackson Edit. This perception was largely snowballed by TikToker and Overtime Elite basketball player Taylen Kinney (TK), who began humorously forcing the numbers "6-7" into his conversations in interviews and livestream clips. Also, when TK said "6-7," he often did a hand gesture or dance move, involving the raising and lowering of both hands in a see-saw motion with the palms facing upward, along with saying, "Six, seven."

The urge to say 6-7 on camera and among friends, and perform the 67 hand gesture, gained traction among Gen Z and Gen Alpha boys, ultimately leading to the 67 Kid video, in which a blonde boy said "6-7" with a group of his peers on the sidelines of a basketball game. The 67 Kid became the subject of several mocking memes online that labeled him cringe and used him to push the Mason 67 stereotype about young, white boys who quote the 67 Meme. The 67 Kid meme evolved further when he was made uncanny in the SCP-067 edits.

As the meme evolved, naturally seeing or hearing the number 67 became part of the joke, similar to other number-based memes like "69," "420" or "21." Plus, in the wake of the 67 Meme, others online tried to force other numbers as memes, notably including "41," "93" and "61."

In the context of the original song, "6-7" purportedly refers to either 67th Street in Philadelphia, where Skrilla is from, or 67th Street in Chicago, where G Herbo is from and where Skrilla reportedly has family ties. Others have speculated that "6-7" is a reference to the police dispatch code for death in some places, which is "10-67." When asked by Complex Magazine, shortly after the 67 Meme was referenced in a South Park episode, Skrilla said that the number's meaning was, "It's just 'negative to positive.'"

Origin

On December 1st, 2024, rapper Skrilla released the song "Doot Doot." In February 2025, he released a music video on YouTube,^[1] garnering over 1.1 million views in a week. In the song, Skrilla says "6-7" in reference to and to represent 67th Street in Philadelphia, where the rapper is from.

Shades on so I roll with the glasses
Bro say er cus he a savage
So many dead opps, so many ashes
You ain’t catch that I can’t pass this
Shooters stay strapped, I don’t need mine
Bro put belt right to they behind
The way that switch brrt I know he dyin
6-7

That day, TikToker^[2] @matvii_grinblat posted a video of someone giving commentary on NBA player Lamelo Ball's game, discussing his height in reference to how he plays. Once the commentator says "6' 7"," the song begins playing and a compilation of Lamelo Ball footage plays. The video gained over 9.6 million views in two months.

67 Meaning

On October 17th, 2025, Complex^[7] interviewed rapper Skrilla about "Doot Doot" and the 6-7 Meme. The article first listed possible explanations for the significance of the numbers, such as street numbers in Philadelphia, where Skrilla is from, and Chicago, where Skrilla reportedly has family ties and where featured rapper G Herbo is from.

Others on X^[8] have speculated that the numbers reference the police dispatch code for murder, "10-67," in Philadelphia and other major American cities. The theory also used the bar before the 6-7 bar, "The way that switch brrt I know he dyin'," as supposed supporting evidence.

An annotation on the lyric on Genius^[10] also speculates that 6-7 could be a reference to the phrase "six feet under, seven feet apart" (the average depth a coffin is buried and roughly spaced apart in length).

When asked by Complex^[7] about the meaning of the numbers, Skrilla said, "Everybody else got their own different meaning. But for me, it's just 'negative to positive.' It helped me turn from a negative person to a positive person."

In a comment to the Wall Street Journal^[11] from the same timeframe, he also said, "I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to … That’s why everybody keeps saying it."

Word of the Year

On October 28th, 2025, Dictionary.com^[12] announced its annual "Word of the Year" recipient, naming "67" as WOTY. In the blog post announcing it, Dictionary.com stated it chose 67 after its lexicographers analyzed large amounts of data, such as news headlines, social media trends, search engine results and other sources, identifying 67 as a word that had a prominent impact on conversations in both the real world and online.

In its announcement post for WOTY, Dictionary.com^[12] notably stated about defining 67:

Perhaps the most defining feature of 67 is that it’s impossible to define. It’s meaningless, ubiquitous, and nonsensical. In other words, it has all the hallmarks of brainrot. It’s the logical endpoint of being perpetually online, scrolling endlessly, consuming content fed to users by algorithms trained by other algorithms. And what are we left with in the wake of this relentless sensory overload? 67. Still, it remains meaningful to the people who use it because of the connection it fosters. 67 shows the speed at which a new word can rocket around the world as a rising generation enters the global conversation.

On the morning of October 29th, the Twitter / X^[13] account Pop Base (@PopBase) tweeted about the Dictionary.com WOTY announcement, receiving over 32,000 views, 570 likes, 250 retweets and 180 replies in 30 minutes.

67 Kid

The 67 Kid, also known as the 6 7 Kid With Fluffy Hair, refers to a white boy with blonde fluffy hair and an Essentials Fear of God hoodie loudly saying, "Ay, 6-7," on the sideline of a basketball game in a Cam Wilder YouTube video. The kid is referencing the rap song "Doot Doot" by Skrilla, which notably started the viral 6-7 meme. His haircut is often called an Ice Cream Haircut. The video spread via reposts on TikTok in April 2025, with many perceiving the kid as cringe, particularly concerning white people co-opting Blackness. The video helped outline the Mason 67 stereotype about white Gen Alpha and Gen Z boys supposedly overusing the 6-7 meme in real life. The boy was later identified as Maverick Trevillian. By late 2025, the 67 Kid was turned into SCP-067, an Analog Horror and creepypasta version of the original boy, depicted with a large, gaping mouth.

Mason 67

Mason 67, also known as 67 Mason or 🏳️‍🌈🫷😎✝️ Mason ⚾️🎣🫸🏳️‍⚧️, is the moniker for a stereotypical American white boy, named Mason, who routinely references the 67 meme, from the song "Doot Doot" by Skrilla. The male name "Mason" was chosen due to a series of screenshots that went viral online showing multiple examples of male Gen Alpha and Gen Z internet users named Mason on Instagram and Snapchat, similar to the archetype of a "Karen." On the profiles, "Mason" was commonly paired with an emojipasta showing hands pushing away LGBTQ+ flags and accepting emojis about baseball, fishing and Christianity. The 67 meme was distanced from Black internet users when a cliché was formed that pushed the idea that suburban white kids were using the 67 slang term more than other demographics. This perception was largely aided online by the viral 67 Kid video, which showed a blonde white boy saying the numbers, and the Yeah, I Play Baseball meme, which outlined the visual signifiers of the 67 Mason stereotype, including fluffy ice cream hair, ice cream shorts from the brand Baseball Lifestyle, Pit Viper style sunglasses and Yeezy Slides, among other typical outfit and style choices. 67 Mason became an internet character, used online to mock the continued use of the 67 meme by Gen Alpha and Gen Z boys heading into late 2025. The 67 Mason meme also devolved into an analog horror or creepypasta character by August 2025, using an "uncanny" edit of the 67 Kid later known as SCP-067.
