TikTok has a new obsession. It’s not a dance. It’s not a skincare routine. It’s not even a conspiracy theory. It’s a number. Just two digits: 67. That’s it. That’s the trend.
So… What Does “67” Mean?
Nothing.
Or everything.
Or maybe something in between.
It started with a track called Doot Doot by rapper Skrilla, where the phrase “six-seven” gets repeated like a secret code. That sound took off in late 2024 on TikTok — and suddenly, “67” was everywhere.
By February 2025, the song dropped officially. But the slang outlived the single. Now, “67” is said, whispered, chanted, joked about, and added to captions like it holds the meaning of life. Spoiler: it doesn’t.
Okay, But What Is It?
Some say “67” means so-so — especially when paired with the double-hand balancing motion. Think of it like shrugging, but cooler.
Others — including creator Philip Lindsay — say the whole point is that there is no point. It’s just a number. Fun to say. Catchy to repeat. Meme-worthy in its confusion.
And maybe that’s the magic. “67” is the inside joke that nobody understands — and that’s why everyone wants in on it.
Why LaMelo Ball Keeps Getting Dragged Into This
Things really took off when fans edited “six-seven” onto a clip of Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball, who, yes, stands 6 feet 7 inches tall.
One clip in particular hit meme status: “I’m just realizing now that LaMelo literally moves like somebody that’s 6’1″, 6’2″, except he’s 6’7″.” Boom — the number had a face.
From there, the internet did what it does best: make it weird, wild, and wonderful.
Where You’ve Heard It
In press conferences (Paige Bueckers cracked up during hers saying “It’s felt more like 6-7”).
In jokes about test scores (“I got 67 out of 100 what abt you”).
In totally unrelated conversations that suddenly end with “67” and that one hand motion.
In your group chat — probably soon.
67 Is the New “Fetch”
Nobody knows why it works. It just does.
It’s a vibe. A filler. A non sequitur that became the main event.
It means exactly what you want it to mean — and if you ask what it means, you’ve already lost.
TL;DR
“67” is TikTok’s favorite number.
It started in a viral song.
It doesn’t mean anything.
It might mean everything.
Use it wisely. Or don’t.
67.
