My understanding was rap song (possibly a reference to violence) -> used in TikToks especially basketball -> said by a kid at a basketball game while doing an excited hand gesture -> went viral from that and now kids just shout out for funsies, because kids do silly things.
It’s funny how people don’t seem to remember being a kid. I can name you plenty of memes and in-jokes from middle school/high school where the “joke” was that it had literally no meaning. Adults being confused about kids these days only fuels the joke.
Like, has anyone lost the game recently? You think that’s any more high-brow?
I lose the game every time someone shares a loss meme. I find that meme stupid so I happily share my loss of The Game to make everyone else suffer a loss with me!
I remember being a kid, and yet I do not remember any of the “lol random” things I thought were fucking hilarious except the phrase “penis wrinkle.” That shit still makes me laugh so hard it hurts.
I saw the original clip; the kid saying “six seven!” and doing a bobbling hand gesture looked and sounded pretty ridiculous and I can absolutely see how it would get turned into a meme, especially if you repeat it enough on TikTok-style short videos

I just lost the game
Not since XKCD #391. You’re welcome.

And the only way to kill it is for adults to start saying it, usually incorrectly, as much as possible.
That would be pretty 6-7 of us adults to do.
We could shorten it to negative one because that’s six minus seven and shortening things and having to explain them makes them cooler
Almost like it’s imaginary
6-7 makes no sense because the root of 6-7 is literally imaginary 🤯
No, that’s the square root of negative one.
Holds up spork
My spoon is too big!
“Nut check!” [Blinding agony]

Just saw a language Jones video about exactly this. Pretty much echoed the same thing.

6-7 or 10-67 is a police code often in reference to report a dead body.
Codes vary dramatically from one jurisdiction to the next.
apparently it’s the code from philly, skrillex’s home town, who wrote the song that started all this.
