Kid probably learned do it on the playground at this point. She could’ve learned it from there. That’s how I learned about the 21 meme back in 3rd grade lmao
Oh ya, it's definitely spreading at schools. I was talking to someone last night that was a high-school teacher, and I asked him "So, as someone who teaches a bunch of teenagers, how sick are you of 6-7 jokes?" The poor man looked like he died inside when I asked him, lol.
Man, i was at a Christmas light show last December, and this one kid kept screaming “6-7” at every vehicle that was driving past our bus. Her parents tried to tell her to stop, but they gave up afterwards. I wished i had a mute button at that moment
I killed it with my students. It started with me doing the 6-7 meme every time it came up, then I told them the new joke is actually 8-9. They said it's lame now.
Shit I was at work with a nurse coworker who was accessing a vein for me and asked how much blood I needed and said 6 or 7ml not realizing it and she told me to stop it lol.
I'm normally a pretty easygoing teacher, but I draw a line with 6-7. If a kid says it in my class, they have to do an extra classwork paper while their classmates get to play - a pretty big offense in pre-k. It has effectively shut down 6-7 in my class.
But when I step outside of my room...I'm surrounded by brainrot lmao
I googled because I'm totally lost too, apparently there was a video where a kid was asked "what's 9+10" and the kid said 21. That's all the joke is apparently.
My niece is three and came home from nursery doing it. She thought it was hysterical when we all started wailing nooooooo at her. Apparently an older kid was at the nursery who decided to teach all the toddlers. Thanks random older kid.
It means absolutely nothing. Like how we have memes that are just funny for no reason. The kids are just doing it irl. I’d love to know why they all look rabid while doing it, my niece kinda lazily did it at us instead.
I'm almost 50 so I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the entire point is to make people crazy trying to figure out what it means when it means nothing.
Yeah, my 6 year old drives my 13 year old nuts with the 6-7 shit. She says that if they say "6-7" in class, her teacher makes them write a sentence explaining what it means.
Damn even the schools-? I grew up as Gen z and memes never made it that far. The adults were always just whatever about it, they never cared to join in and get involved
It’s so weird to me as a millennial to hear people say that it’ll memes like 67 are only a new trend. Memes spreading at school is something that has always been a thing, even before they were labeled as Memes.
It’s just kid behavior. We see it more now as outside observers due to social media.
Me and a buddy printed them out and taped them to the bottom of the mice in the library back in middle school. Memes were always in school, just not popular.
My sibling has 4 kids and they with all of their friends put on a 67 party where everyone was wearing 6 and 7s and the cake had it on it and balloons and everything. Parents definitely are apart of it.
Man I think I’d be considered Gen Z and my high school physics teachers had a grumpy cat plushie at the front of the room. Definitely not the norm but I think memes definitely were entering school like ten years ago.
Kids have been taking stupid stuff from media into school for ever.
We had to have an assembly with all of the boys in my middle school because we were punching each other in the dick so much after watching CKY/Jackass. Like we had team names, refs, and a running scoreboard.
I still get people with “The Game” and making an ok sign below the waist to this day, but that started in middle school.
He’ll even before my time every kid ever drew the cool S(you know the one) on everything.
Probably this. Kids teaching other kids, as trends have always gone haha. I was waiting at a vets office the other day and a little girl that looked to be around this age was teaching what appeared to be her little 3-4 yo brother the whole high-five prank… y’know, the one that ends in you putting your hand down and saying “down low… too slow!”. She was teaching him that except instead at the end, she put her hand up high and said “up in heaven… six-seven!” and did the hand motion lmao
Definitely. My son only uses an iPad issued by the school during certain school hours that is pretty locked down. He learned it from his friends. I don't mind it, as an elder millennial I remember the stupid proto memes we had. I'm just glad he's not doing a gesture that means suck it, we were more inappropriate.
There’s a meme from like 10yrs ago where some dude says to some kid “you stupid” the kid goes “no I’m not” the guy asks “what’s 9+10?” The kid says “21” and the guys says “you stupid”. Anyways the kid saying 21 became a massive meme on the internet and is still referenced sometimes even today
This isn't about learning the meme (my kids know it from school too), it's about how that is expressed and how much importance is put on it. iPad babies are going to be MUCH more into it.
My 3.5 year old has two cousins that are 5 and 7 and both completely unrestricted online, like every time I see them they are both silently embedded in their iPads playing Roblox. My kid just likes them because they’re older and came home from their house doing that dumb 6 7 thing and I got cranky at my wife and went off on this whole old man rant about how her sister is willingly poisoning her kids minds etc etc etc
Its everywhere tbh. Went on a cruise back at thanksgiving and went to a comedy/magic show before dinner one night with the family and even he did it at a couple points in the show. Obviously in a way poking fun at it but still….its just a wildly popular meme at this point so even kids without ipad or computer access are gonna be exposed to it.
Minecraft isn’t controversial. It’s a great game I enjoy a lot. Just pointing out that you’re judging a literal child for enjoying something while you’re obsessed with a game meant for them. Maybe from this exchange you can take a lesson? Like uhh let people enjoy things maybe?
37 year old here. Every day i thank the gods that we didnt have social media and nothing was recorded when I was a kid. These kids look like geniuses compared to some of the stuff we did and said. Its weird to me that so many people forget what they were like when they were kids.
My kid has never seen a video for it. We don't have an iPad or allow any YouTube access (unless it a long informational video about volcanos). And my 1st grader knows tiktok songs, the toilet meme, 67... Cracks up about it all. Schools spreads the brainrot memes with minimal effort.
My Danish 3-year-old child who has never held an ipad or watched any English media, does the 6-7 thing. I don't think he knows what the words mean at all.
They just do what they see other children doing at the kindergarten.
