67 Meme
The 67 Meme is a viral TikTok trend centered on the phrase "six, seven" from Philadelphia rapper Skrilla's song "Doot Doot (6 7)." The meme involves saying the numbers while performing a seesaw hand gesture with palms facing upward, and spread through basketball edits before becoming a Gen Alpha/Gen Z cultural touchstone.
Overview
The 67 Meme refers to a viral trend centered on the lyric "6-7" from the hip-hop track "Doot Doot" by Philadelphia rapper Skrilla1. The meme involves saying "six, seven" while performing a distinctive seesaw hand gesture with both palms facing upward, moving them alternately up and down10. The phrase has no fixed meaning. Skrilla himself said he "never put an actual meaning on it" and "would not want to"4.
The meme works on multiple levels. On the surface, it's a catchy, rhythmic phrase that's fun to say and easy to replicate. Underneath, it functions as a social signal and in-group marker among Gen Z and Gen Alpha users2. Dictionary.com named it the 2025 Word of the Year, describing it as "purposefully nonsensical" brainrot slang that "spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means"2.
The 67 meme fits into a broader pattern of meaningless viral phrases that spread through repetition and in-group signaling rather than semantic content. Like "skibidi" or "rizz" before it, the phrase works because it's short, catchy, and absurd enough to apply to almost any context.
Skrilla built his following in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood before breaking out with "Doot Doot"3. His decision to leave "6-7" undefined was intentional, allowing the phrase to take on whatever meaning users wanted4.
Taylen Kinney (TK), the Overtime Elite player who popularized the gesture, committed to play for the University of Kansas Jayhawks and launched "6 7 Water," a creator-led hydration brand with over 150K followers and a GoPuff distribution deal10.
Maverick Trevillian, the 67 Kid who became the meme's face, was born May 29, 2011 and was 13 when he went viral. His mother Jaime Trevillian now manages his social media under @Momma67 through 67 Studios. By 2026, he had over 1.1 million TikTok followers7.

How to Use This Meme
The 67 meme has two main components: the phrase and the gesture.
The phrase: Say "six, seven" (not "sixty-seven") as two separate numbers in a rhythmic cadence. The delivery matters as much as the words. It can be used as an interjection, a reaction, a greeting, or inserted into any conversation where the numbers 6 or 7 appear1.
The gesture: Hold both palms facing upward. Move your hands alternately up and down in a seesaw or juggling motion, as if weighing two options10. The gesture is performed while saying the phrase.
Common uses: - Layering the audio over TikTok edits - Saying "six-seven" as a standalone reaction - Recreating Maverick Trevillian's enthusiastic delivery on camera - Responding to any mention of the numbers 6 or 7 - Creating horror-style remixes in the SCP-067 format11
