"Recently, hordes of teens have been crowding into In-N-Out's many West Coast locations and waiting patiently for order number 67 to be called, then bursting into hysterical cheers when it happens. If this sentence has already confused you, there are videos of the mass psychosis event you can find on Instagram. It's a trend that has gotten so disruptive that People just reported In-N-Out will no longer be using the number in its ordering system."
"The scenes at In-N-Out have their origin in an online meme around the term "6-7." References to the numbers apparently originated from a song called "Doot Doot (6 7)" by the rapper Skrilla, and quickly morphed into a joke with a life of its own. Trying too hard to understand what the joke means if you don't already know will instantly age you into a withered skeleton, but essentially, the point is that it has no meaning."
"The 6-7 trend has gotten massive over the past few months, to the point that it was named Dictionary.com's word of the year, calling it an ambiguous slang term that is often shouted by younger people. The best explanation it could offer was calling 6-7 the verbal equivalent of internet brainrot, something embraced by younger generations that symbolizes the meaninglessness of endlessly scrolling through content."
Teen crowds have been gathering at West Coast In-N-Out locations to wait for order number 67 and erupt into loud cheers when it is called. The behavior became so disruptive that In-N-Out removed the number from its ordering system. The trend originated online from a meme tied to the song Doot Doot (6 7) by Skrilla and evolved into an inside joke among mostly teenagers. Referencing 6-7 functions as deliberate meaningless shorthand that confuses older observers and symbolizes aimless, attention-consuming habits of endless scrolling. Dictionary.com named 6-7 word of the year and likened it to internet brainrot.
