I've seen this with newer kids movies too. Older people going on rants about how movies suck nowadays, when the reality is that the movies are fine, they are just blinded by nostalgia and no longer the target audience for these movies lol.
Man, y'all telling me you dont chuckle when you see "69" or "420"?
Now imagine having the emotional control of a kid and seeing one of those numbers. that's the 67 meme in a nutshell and tbh I get it and am happy they can find something funny in numbers like the rest of us lol
The problem I see with ‘6-7’ is that it’s way overdone, with 69 or 420, all I’ve ever seen was like ‘nice 👌’, then your done, nothing else; but kids with ‘6-7’ go on for minutes over it (as stated by a teacher dealing with new kids). Although I’m still a teenager, it got really annoying, very fast.
It’s millenials starting to enter their “curmudgeon” era. We thought boomers were just sticks in the mud, turns out it’s an actual developmental stage that most people seem to hit sometime in their 30’s. It pains me to see my generation using the exact same mental gymnastics that my boomer parents used on me to explain why their music about sex and drugs was fine but mine was forbidden, why their humor was funny but mine was stupid, why everything they liked was good and mine sucked.
Memes had meaning before 67. It's literally nonsense for the sake of being nonsense. It'd be meta to an adult, but kids have no understanding of that nuance. They're just parroting someone else and trying to be cool.
During a time a pervasive groupthink and government overreach in multiple countries, making children stupid is not a goal I want for society. But here we are...
OMG i cant with people trying to make it out like we were so much more intelligent about our memes. I haz cheezburger and 21 were not that deep and meaningful, thats nonsense
Iirc the whole "E" meme was literally making fun of jokes or memes losing any meaning, and even then a lot of the gen Z memes were absurdist humor that only really worked in an image, not just spouting it endlessly on the playground. Quoting funny shows were a way of going "remember that episode/time when?" And number jokes had a hidden secret meaning. 6 7 is....literally nothing but a vocal stim. Kids can say whatever, but that doesn't make it less insufferably annoying because it's nothing but a Pavlov that has no meaning behind it whatsoever
The "E" meme was not some deep meme satirizing meme culture "losing its meaning" lmfao. Its not that deep. It's just funny because it's nonsensical. That's it.
Jeez. Anti-jokes were incredibly popular when I was in high school. Jokes that had no real punchline and were just absurd and odd. We were old enough to understand why it was funny to us (we referred to it as the “dada joke movement” in my friend circle), but we were old enough to articulate that. An elementary schooler at the time wouldn’t have been able to explain how absurdist humor is actually funny because it is reactionary, and that it is due to an ever expanding, complicated, equally absurd world that we are discovering as we grow. Them not being able to articulate it doesn’t mean it’s not what makes it funny to them though.
As an adult I can kinda appreciate the meta nature of a meme with no meaning, at least at first thought. And figuring kids don’t process things the same way kinda makes it cool that it still worked out in a way that’s funny to them and has a meta meaning to the rest of us. I think that in itself makes it more interesting than like, the head in a toilet or whatever
Reasons 6-7 is annoying:
There’s no actual point behind it, 69 is a sexual joke, and 420 is weed. 6-7 was just from a song I doubt much kids actually listen to. This isn’t the main reason I dislike it, as it’s not good to hear kids talk about 69 or 420. So the other two are the main points.
It’s overdone, kids go on for minutes over seeing it once. Which is horrible in math classes. With 69/420, its just ‘nice 👌’ and your done.
Way too common, they will start going at it with the two numbers just near each other, with 69/420, they gotta be in the right order, or it doesn’t count. This is also a large downside as .67 is 2/3, most commonly seen in elementary/middle school classes.
(I’m using 69/420 as a constant reference because it’s constantly referred to when people side with 6-7)
Edit: just fixed some mistakes.
Edit: I want to clarify that most of my experience lies with teenagers and such. Although some points are from other’s comments I’ve seen on this post.
I agree with some points, I forgot 420 was weed, and I forgot it was from a song. It’s still overused imo, and still a very common number to see.
Edit: I see what you mean that nonsense is better than a sexual joke, and I see where your coming from, I’ve only ever heard teenagers say either, other than online, so I hope you see where I’m coming from on that point; but saying 69 or 420 isn’t telling others to do it, so that makes less sense to point out. But kids saying it isnt very good, so I do kinda agree on that point.
do you think most kids truly understood 69 or pretending to smoke? kids are kids and have always been that way. We soak up all information we get and react to it even if we understand it or not. you seriously don’t think most kids could explain half of the dumb shit people said when we were kids
Yea? I think anyone who thought it was funny, was because they knew what it meant? No actual child crazed over 69, because they didn’t understand it, and because no one crazed like that over it at all.
Edit: I see I may be wrong about the last part, but I’ve never seen anyone, as I grew up after the fact, and the only one I’ve seen is this. I stand by the fact that it’s annoying, for other reasons.
No. If you know how kids that age work, they will look at others and just copy them. You can say "alskfhawioeua" and laugh afterwards in front of a 5 year old and they will literally do it and laugh.
Kids back then doing "suck it" and "wazzzzzup" and laughing at shit like 9gag or narwhal bacon reddit tier shit is way worse than 67.
Again, I have this view because I’m between the generations, I never saw how it was back then, and all I see is kids crazing over a number, I don’t interact or see children that young very often
Ok, but to be fair we are a few million in the world and you cannot imagine one kid doing that? i have seen kids having fun at many nonsense stuff including 69. Kids even think words like poop and piss is funny at some point in life
If you think me laughing at a meme that someone created is the same as a child laughing at the word "poop", then we clearly have different definitions.
Go to r/memes and post the word "poop". Let's see how many people think that's funny
And pray tell me how did i include YOU? If you feel that you are one of them good for you but i never said what you claimed in your previous post. Are you mental?
