About

67 Meme, also known as 6-7 Meme, Six Seven Meme or 6-7 Song, refers to a series of memes about 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 notably became the subject of basketball edits of NBA player LaMelo Ball, who is 6' 7" in height. The 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.

TikToker and Overtime Elite basketball player Taylen Kinney (TK) then began humorously forcing the numbers into his conversations in interviews and livestream clips, paired with 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 in hopes of becoming edit intros, ultimately leading to the 67 Kid video and the Mason 67 stereotype.

Heading into late 2025, several variants of the 67 Meme surfaced online, including other forced number memes like "41," "93" and "61." Other trends like the 67 Handshake and 6/7 Weekend furthered the meme's popularity.

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."

Spread

In January 2025, the song was further popularized on TikTok and Instagram Reels through a variety of videos, including edits and lip dubs. On January 7th, 2025, Instagram^[3] user atlsproductions posted a Reel in which a stand-up comedian says "6' 7"," followed by a transition to Lamelo Ball footage, garnering over 351,000 likes in a month.

On January 25th, the YouTube^[9] channel @OTE shared a clip of Overtime League basketball player Overtime Elite basketball player Taylen Kinney (TK) humorously forcing the numbers "six, seven" into a video when he's asked how many points he scored.

On January 26th, 2025, TikToker^[4] @ag.trippin posted a video compiling several videos of TK and other people making "6-7" jokes, including the abovementioned TK clip, garnering over 4.8 million views in a week.

67 Kid

On March 31st, 2025, YouTuber^[14] Cam Wilder posted a video called "MY OVERPOWERED AAU TEAM HAS FINALLY RETURNED!" It received over 985,300 views in two weeks. At the video's 13:24-minute mark, the camera pans to a white kid on the sidelines. He has blonde, fluffy hair, known as an Ice Cream Haircut, and a grey Essentials Fear of God hoodie. He loudly says, "Ay, 6-7," at the camera.

The kid was later identified as Maverick Trevillian, who posts on the TikTok^[15] page @mav67kid67.

The moment was clipped by TikToker^[16] @the_daily_yt_clipper on April 1st, and in the following weeks, several TikToks^[17] surfaced that used the clip, dubbing him the 67 Kid. He became a symbol of young white men who stereotypically quote the 67 Meme repeatedly, dubbed the Mason 67 cliché.

The 67 Kid also became the subject of several analog horror and creepypasta edits dubbed SCP-067, which edited his face with Photoshop and AI to make his mouth agape.

41 Meme

On May 7th, 2025, rapper Blizzi Boi posted a TikTok^[18] video on his account @blizziboitv, showing himself rapping, "41 but I got 41 goals," in front of a green background with captions reading, "40+ year old pluggnb rapper" and "Did unc snap?"

Blizzi Boi also posted the video to his Instagram account @blizziboi sometime in May 2025. However, the page has since been deleted.

In the following weeks and months, the so-called 41 Meme spread online as a forced meme designed to replace the 67 meme. It would later inspire several other forced number-based memes in the wake of 67, like 93 and 61.

2025 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.
