The History of “67”

The history of “67”

The 67 trend began with a song (Doot Doot – Skrilla) being used over clips of basketball players. These clips along with this song were used to create edits that were posted all over social media, especially Tiktok.

Some people question what the meaning of 67 is, some speculating that it even means something profane and disrespectful. But the full truth is that 67 doesn’t actually mean anything, it’s used for comedic effect and has no deeper truths or hidden meanings for you to decipher. Simply put, it’s just a meme.

As the 67 meme began to rise in popularity among social media editors, so did their reach to the public eye. Catching the attention of millions of people, who eventually began using the number not only in social media but in real life conversation. It’s not used as an adjective, or anything of the sort. It really is just a number, and due to its prevalence and overuse many people began to see it as comedic or ironic to say for no reason.
