Hey internet explorers! Ever stumbled upon something so catchy, so… *viral* that it just sticks? Get ready to dive into the wild world of the **6-7 meme**!
(Sound of a basketball dribbling briefly)
It all kicked off in early 2025, exploding on TikTok and Instagram Reels. What's the secret sauce? The infectious repetition of "6-7" in Skrilla's track, "Doot Doot (6 7)". Think epic video edits of NBA stars, like the impossibly tall LaMelo Ball, who, you guessed it, stands at a cool six feet seven inches. This phrase quickly became the new slang, a badge of honor for Gen Alpha and Gen Z.
(Music swells slightly)
By August 2025, the meme was everywhere! And then, a legend was born: the **"6-7 Kid"**! A viral video from an AAU basketball game showed this youngster, full of energy, yelling "6-7" with a signature hand gesture. It was pure, unadulterated meme magic! It’s even drawing comparisons to the "41" meme, another lyrical earworm that took the internet by storm.
(Music becomes slightly more mysterious)
Now, the "6-7" story gets even stranger. In August 2025, a darker, analog horror twist emerged: the **"SCP-067 Kid"**. Forget pens, this is about eerie, black-and-white visuals of our iconic kid with a distorted, wide-open mouth, referencing the chilling world of the SCP Foundation.
(Music fades back in, energetic and fun)
So, whether it's about height, a catchy tune, or a touch of the uncanny, the 6-7 meme has carved its own unique space in internet culture. Keep your eyes peeled, because you never know what's next!
The 6-7 meme (/sɪks.ˈsɛ.vən/ ) is an internet meme and slang term that emerged in early 2025 on TikTok and Instagram Reels. It originated from the repeated lyric "6-7" in the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Skrilla, which was used on social media in video edits of professional basketball players such as LaMelo Ball who is 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 meters) tall. The term "6-7" spread as slang among Generation Alpha and Generation Z. As the meme's reach expanded in August of 2025, one child became known as the "6-7 Kid" after a viral video showed him saying the term while moving his hands up and down at an Amateur Athletic Union basketball game. It is often compared to 41, a meme of similar origin, where rapper Blizzi Boi in his song "41 Song (Saks Freestyle)" repeats the number "41" throughout.
== Origin ==
"6-7" is a repeated lyric in the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by hip hop artist Skrilla, a possible reference to 67th Street in Chicago. The song came out in December 2024 (before its official release on February 7, 2025) and was used in video edits of professional basketball players, but specifically LaMelo Ball due to him being 6 ft 7 in tall. As basketball slang, 6-7 may mean "very tall" or "so-so". It has since spread beyond basketball into a broader internet phenomenon.
== 6-7 Kid ==
On March 31, 2025, a YouTuber known as Cam Wilder posted a video titled "My Overpowered AAU Team has Finally Returned!" in which, at timestamp 13:24, the boy colloquially referred to as the "6-7 Kid" can be seen going up to the camera and yelling the phrase. This clip went viral on TikTok. TikTok videos of a hand gesture were also made for the phrase. The videos usually include a hand gesture in which one alternates their hands with their palms facing upward, while saying the phrase "six-seven" in a modulated voice.
=== Analog horror ===
In August 2025, the meme developed an analog horror variation known as the "SCP-067 Kid". This version, not to be confused with the canon "SCP-067", which is a pen, depicts black-and-white images of the boy with a distorted, wide-open mouth. The name references the SCP Foundation, a collaborative fiction project about fictional paranormal anomalies.
