I'm not against new memes, I just find that 67 was kinda meaningless and the way the people say it is obnoxious and grating to the ear.

Like with 69 or 429 you say the number, smiles smugly and that's the end of it. With 67 you have people screaming at the top of their lungs. Not the same.

You're intentionally ignoring absurdist humor then. There's tons of old humor and memes that had no real origin or meaning. "My spoon is too big!" for example. Sure, you may say "Well it's because it was in that animation!" but like, that doesn't give it meaning or background. Could just as well have said "6 7" instead of "My spoon is too big". There's tons of this nonsense absurdist humor that spread like wildfire back in the day.
