Overview
- Teachers report frequent shout‑outs of “6‑7” during lessons, with some classes enforcing limits and others co‑opting the chant to defuse disruptions.
- The meme originated in Philadelphia rapper Skrilla’s “Doot Doot (6 7)” and surged on TikTok through sports edits featuring LaMelo Ball.
- A weighing‑style hand motion linked to teen player Taylen Kinney commonly accompanies the chant, and a viral spectator dubbed “Mason 67” amplified the joke.
- Linguists describe the trend as a semantically empty shibboleth that fosters belonging, helping it persist for roughly a year even as some students now show fatigue.
- Skrilla is promoting new music, including a Lil Yachty collaboration, and has claimed a Grand Theft Auto 6 appearance, a claim not independently verified.
