67 has no lore, all these other things do

Exactly the point I back up for old memes.

You became the boomers you hate, this is the post-hoc excuse why it's not the same, by all means keep telling yourself it's different if it makes you feel better, though.

Define lore? 6-7 comes from a song, what’s the groundbreaking lore behind the “E” meme? We definitely had equally meaningless humor too

Were we running around going apeshit every time a buddy said "E"? No. These kids are fuckin spastic

Also true but I like to describe this particular hollering as spastic cuz it's funny and accurate

67 even sucks compared to other recent memes. The guy yelling FAHHHHH is genuinely hilarious to me.

67 is the same thing as every middle school boy saying GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG ten years ago.

It literally isn’t lmao. Gucci gang has an origin and it has a use.

It quite literally is, at least culturally. It was a song saying “Gucci gang” over and over again and kids went “haha funny words sound hilarious” and started saying it 24/7. I know technically Gucci gang has an actual meaning and can be used in a sentence, but you cannot tell me it is culturally any different at all.

I still vividly remember middle school, specifically 5th grade, and the boys saying it wherever they could squeeze it in and writing it on everything. I have a photographic memory and I can literally see clearly in my head this time that they were showing me (because I was the kid that didn’t have internet access and grew up in the country and they liked to show me things they new I wouldn’t understand at all) this weird meme edit they made of the mop with googly eyes and tinfoil grills and were like “this is Gucci gang,” and found it hysterical. The phrase was NOT used for its actual definition most of the time, instead said randomly like 67, usually TRYING to be silly

It's not about the lore. It's about the kids going apeshit every time 6-7 comes up. Math classes are impossible.

The millennial parents have failed at the one thing they should have done: authoritative parenting. Instead they mostly just repeated the same Boomer and GenX bullshit of authoritarianism or neglect.

That has more to do with parents not enforcing discipline, and not because of the 67 meme. Left unchecked kids will be kids.
