Y'all just haters, 67 is just another example of one generation finding and creating their own internet humor, then having every other generation bash on them for it.
Sure it's a bit cringey, but let the kids have their fun. Internet humor doesn't have to be so gatekeepy. We had things like 21 from vine and 2+2 is 4. If you look further than number based memes, then there's been a bunch of nonsensical memes like 🅱️
Yeah 67 is dumb but so was Nyan Cat, It is Wednesday my dudes, dickbutt, Somebody Touched My Spaghet...
I think I can shed light on the 6 7 hate. To do so though, I need to cover why people are okay with the others. 420 and 69 have been around for ages so they get a pass for being grandfathered and having transgressive origins. Quick maths (2+2 is 4, minus 1 that's 3) got its fame for being an incredibly stupid thing to say in the middle of a rap while also simultaneously going way too hard for how silly it sounds. Lastly you have 21, which was a vine meme so again, a more grounded and community based origin.
What makes 6 7 stand out is that it's from the British school system, and British culture sucks.
I rest my case.
I was at a gathering and someone who is an English teacher said "yeah the 6 7 is so annoying but I can't complain much; the entire maths department is in great distress." I couldn't help myself but the deadpan tone of the delivery just absolutely floored me.
I, a mid fifties uncle, dropped a 6 7 reference to my sister whilst my teenaged niece was nearby and got a laugh out of her. Worth it. Embrace the cringe.
I'm genuinely surprised it annoys anyone tbh, it's just a couple of numbers. I laugh when my kids catch me and be as cringey as I can with it at every opportunity. Good harmless fun I can exploit for years to come.
Is the Corporate whoring they cringe at id wager
I forgot to specify but I meant it in the context of the thread. Corporate adoption of memes is never it.
For them,
Boomer millennials are just upset they're being reminded of how old and out of touch they are
LOL
Isn't it past your bedtime, son?
Can't handle the always changing definitions in a living language?
You might have boomer attitude.
Book the prostate exam old man
23 skidoo ol chap!
I thought the fun of six seven was getting everyone else to bash them for it.
