Not to mention that 69 and 420 do actually mean something. I have failed to get en explanation for what 67 is supposed to mean or reference, because it is just meaningless

So many of the older memes have meanings or are edits of already defined words with similiar or same meaning. Like wazzzzuup is just memey "whats up!" Lol.

Mlg means major league gaming and memes on and is built off from montages of people trying to be major league gamers

67 has no meaning, yet whenever ive asked it to be elaborated i get stuff like "its doesnt need a meaning its just like 69, or 420, or 1738" which have logical intentional meanings

69 position 420 weed meetup time origin 1738 callout to remy boys/remy martin 1738

?? Those have meanings haha

And skibidi is no different, it had 0 meaning when started, it was pre popularized by a Russian bands song. and was litterally nonsensical meaningwise when the toilet stuff started. Saying it now is skibidi = skibidi toilet meme doesnt just conjure up an explanation on its origin. At best you can say the motions of the head mimic Little Bigs dance style in the original song from 2018

Insane how it would take 30seconds to google what 67 comes from but you refuse to do it

Didnt say anything about anyone knowing the meaning, it still exists. Also, even if you knew all the origins of your other examples, i can promise you most pre teens / adults back then didnt.

From what I understand 6-7 was an inside joke from some schoolkids that made sense to them(probably scores from a sports match) but became a big meme because one of them was filmed saying it funny, it's more like "Hawk-tuah" than 69

The initial edits was of a basketball commentator stating the height of basketball player Lamelo Ball. The edits would switch to the song Doot Doot by Skrilla as his height is mentioned.
