Is ‘6-7’ dead? How the ‘Great Meme Reset’ is changing internet culture
Students are now mocking anyone who still uses the ‘6-7’ term
The internet is undergoing a massive cultural cleanup known as the “Great Meme Reset,” and the first major casualty is the viral “6-7” basketball meme.
What began as a nonsensical chant has now been abandoned by teenagers who say the joke is “officially over.”
The meme originally exploded in 2025, fueled by Philadelphia rapper Skrilla’s song “Doot Doot (6 7)” and NBA star LaMelo Ball, who stands exactly 6 feet 7 inches tall.
It reached a fever pitch when a young fan, Maverick Trevilian - better known as the “67 Kid” – went viral for shouting the numbers while doing a signature up-and-down hand gesture.
At its peak, Dictionary.com even named “67” its 2025 Word of the Year, describing it as a “linguistic time capsule” of “playful absurdity.”
However, the “Reset” began as parents, teachers and even late-night talk show hosts started using the phrase. Jennifer Lawrence recently noted that “it’s over now” because the mystery that made it funny to kids has vanished.
In classrooms across the country, students are now mocking anyone who still uses the term, asking, “Who left you in 2025?”
Experts say this reset is a deliberate move by Gen Alpha to distance themselves from “brainrot” culture.
With the numbers now considered “cringe,” the internet is searching for the next big and hopefully less confusing inside joke.
