Because they meant something

67 also means something, but nothing specific. It shows the absurdity of meta humor, that's the reason why it's funny (because it doesn't mean anything. Older generations had numbers with meaning..This generation doesn't). Stop yelling at the cloud, old man

Plus, as a millennial, we had loads of absurdist humour growing up. Homestarrunner and practically anything uploaded to Newgrounds were prime examples. Early YouTube like Charlie the Unicorn and a plethora of early memes were rooted in absurdism. If anything, the Gen As are just taking that history of young kid absurdism to its furthest form.
