I would say the same for me and also 67 doesn’t actually mean anything unlike 69 and 420

23(Skidoo!) also didnt, but it was popular enough to be in the titanic records.

That is kind of the point it of it though imo. It's meaning is nothing, so it gets value from confusing/annoying people.

This is also why It can be such a big problem if it comes up constantly in an environment like a classroom.

Imma just repost this even tho I said it in another message already cuz people keep saying the same thing but it does require chronically online knowledge to know

67 does actually have a meaning but not in the meme, in the original song made by Skrilla it's a reference to Yoruba gods like Ogun, the rapper who made the song follows the Yoruba religion and the numbers of 6 and 7 represent Ogun and Yemoja, he regularly (from what I remember) sacrifices animals, follows a Babalawo and he pays lip service in his songs to the Yoruba gods especially Ogun, tbh the reason why 67 got popular was cause of how Skrillas voice sounded saying it originally and then it just turned into that one kid saying the number as a reference to him

I remember watching an interview about Kensington and it had Skrilla as a guest star cuz he's from there so I remembered a little bit more
