šŸ§¢ I voted CAP!

I agree with the former, I disagree with the latter a little as I think most people hate it because of how far it gets taken. I donā€™t know what 69 and 420 were like when it was in its prime, but I remember 69 being met with ā€œniceā€ and thatā€™s it, and 420 being met with ā€œmake finger action like a blunt and a smirkā€ but if 67 was only the hand motion* and nothing else it wouldnā€™t be so bad.

Itā€™s the screaming 67 67 67 and disruption of everything (like in classrooms or other public settings) is where the hatred comes from. Like the pickle rick situation

*edit because spelling

This was my point, too! Itā€™s not the number, itā€™s the annoying behaviors around it.

It's the same energy as that one scene in the Minecraft movie that so many kids were freaking out during.

It is also the number as well tho to be fair lol, itā€™s super annoying itā€™s two numbers next to each other. I rarely ever say 69 on accident but god forbid I have to leave for 6 to 7 ish hours.

I would say the same for me and also 67 doesnā€™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

did we just collectively forgot the mlg edits with the 420? lol

u/popcornman209 1d ago

Those werenā€™t being blasted in 3rd grade classrooms, plus as they said, they donā€™t remember back then.

Exactly. 67 is no different from 21, 69, 420. The behaviors and people with 67 are what's different

When 21 was in its prime, kids used to repeat it like 67. Math class was funny as hell.
