The meme "67" (pronounced "six seven") is a nonsensical phrase that gained massive popularity on social media among Gen Alpha in 2025. Its meaning is intentionally absurd, and its humor lies in its random and disruptive use.

The trend reached a fever pitch in March 2025 when a video of a boy, Maverick Trevillian, enthusiastically yelling "six seven!" with an accompanying hand gesture went viral.

The phrase is often used with a hand gesture of two open palms moving up and down, as if weighing options. Common uses include:

• A nonsensical reply: In a school setting, a student might yell "67!" when a teacher mentions the number six or seven, or in response to any question, from "How are you?" to "What's the answer?".
• To confuse adults: Part of the humor is in baffling teachers and parents who are not "in on the joke".
• As an inside joke: Using the meme signals that a person is part of the in-group who understands this piece of internet "brain rot".
• In a variety of media: The meme has been featured in sports highlights, news conferences, and even an episode of South Park. It also led to horror-themed spin-offs that satirize the SCP Foundation.

Why is it called "brain rot"?
The term is part of a wider "brain rot" phenomenon used to describe the spread of digital media that is seen as low-quality or nonsensical. Its meaninglessness and disruptive nature are the entire point of the joke.

Controversy in schools
Some teachers have found the constant shouting of "67" so disruptive that they have banned the phrase in their classrooms. Ironically, some report that this has only made students want to use it more.

Not since 69 has a number caused this much disruption.

“6-7,” pronounced “six-seveeeeen,” is haunting school halls across the country (including South Park Elementary), making it the Gen Alpha nonsense phrase of the moment. Kids are shouting it in classrooms when a teacher turns to page 67, when lunchtime is 6 to 7 minutes away or for no reason at all.

“It’s like a plague — a virus that has taken over these kids’ minds,” said Gabe Dannenbring, a seventh-grade science teacher in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. “You can’t say any iteration of the numbers 6 or 7 without having at least 15 kids yell, ‘6-7!’”

It’s a joke without a punchline (or a setup, for that matter). 6-7 means nothing, but using it can make a student feel like a member of a bigger, cooler group of their peers.
