67 Kid
Also known as: 6-7 Kid · The 67 Kid · SCP-067 Kid
The 67 Kid is a viral TikTok meme centered on a boy named Mason who was filmed enthusiastically yelling "six, seven!" with animated hand gestures during a youth basketball video in March 20251. The phrase itself originated from Skrilla's drill rap song "Doot Doot (6 7)," which had already been gaining traction in basketball highlight edits6. Mason's clip turned the slang into a full-blown internet sensation, spawning classroom disruptions, remix edits, and even a horror-themed spinoff called SCP-0672.
Overview
"67" (pronounced "six-seven," not "sixty-seven") is a piece of Gen Alpha slang that exploded across TikTok and real-life classrooms in early 2025. The phrase doesn't carry a fixed, agreed-upon definition. Some people use it as a general hype word, others treat it as meaningless brainrot, and still others connect it to basketball player LaMelo Ball's literal height of 6 feet 7 inches4. The meme is most recognizable as a short audio clip paired with a specific hand gesture, both pulled from a moment in a Cam Wilder basketball video where a blonde kid in a gray hoodie delivers the phrase with maximum energy1.
What makes the 67 meme unusual is how layered it got. It started as a song lyric, turned into basketball edit audio, crystallized around one kid's face, then branched into horror remixes. Each stage added a new dimension without killing the previous one6.
The roots trace back to Skrilla, a Philadelphia rapper whose track "Doot Doot (6 7)" dropped around December 2024, with an official release in February 20256. The song repeatedly uses the phrase "6-7" in its beat drops, with one lyric going "6-7, I just bipped right on the highway"1. Early on, TikTok and Instagram editors grabbed segments of the track and layered them over basketball highlight clips, especially of players with notable height stats. LaMelo Ball, who stands exactly 6'7", became one of the most common faces in these edits6.
But the meme didn't crystallize until March 31, 2025, when YouTuber Cam Wilder uploaded a video titled "My Overpowered AAU Team has Finally Returned!"6. At the 13:24 mark, a boy named Mason appeared on the sidelines wearing a gray hoodie, yelling "six, seven" with excited hand gestures1. The moment was spontaneous, goofy, and instantly clippable. Mason became the face of the meme overnight6.

How to Use This Meme
The 67 meme works in a few different ways:
As audio: Grab the "six seven" sound clip (either from Skrilla's song or from the Mason video) and layer it over any edit. It typically pairs with hype moments, unexpected reveals, or deliberately absurd non-sequiturs. Basketball content is the classic pairing, but the audio works as a general punctuation mark.
As a catchphrase: Say or type "6-7" (or "67") as a standalone reaction. People often deploy it to hype something up, to be deliberately meaningless, or just to get a reaction from anyone who recognizes the reference.
With the hand gesture: The Mason clip includes a specific hand movement while saying the phrase. Recreating this gesture on camera is a common format for duets and reaction content.
As horror content: Take the Mason clip and apply distortion filters, VHS grain, glitch effects, and unsettling audio. Frame it as an SCP-style anomaly. This version leans into creepypasta aesthetics and works best as short-form horror.
Cultural Impact
Fun Facts
Mason's real name was revealed in coverage of the meme, but most people still just call him "the 67 Kid".
The phrase is pronounced "six-seven," not "sixty-seven." Getting this wrong is a reliable way to identify yourself as out of the loop.
Despite being called a "word," 6-7 is technically a number (or two numbers). Dictionary.com selected it anyway.
The original Cam Wilder video had nothing to do with the meme intentionally. Mason's moment happens at the 13:24 mark of a standard AAU basketball video.
Derivatives & Variations
SCP-067 Kid:
An analogue horror remix of the original Mason clip, applying glitch effects, distortion, and creepypasta framing. Gained its own viral momentum in late 2025[2].
LaMelo Ball "6-7" edits:
Basketball highlight compilations set to Skrilla's track, playing on the fact that LaMelo Ball is literally 6'7". These predated the Mason clip and helped seed the meme's spread[6].
Horror evolution content:
Russian-language YouTubers produced long-form videos exploring the "67 monster" concept, blending the meme with horror storytelling formats[3].
