Numbers are always fascinating. Occasionally, numbers can also become a part of crazy phenomena like "Six Seven". The Gen Alpha frenzy for the "67" fad is reaching a crescendo in the USA. According to this WSJ report (pay-walled), schoolchildren are screaming "Six Sevennnnn" with the see-saw gesture whenever this number appears in a math problem or solution during a maths class, much to the irritation of the math teachers. The "Six Seven" trend started suddenly with Instagram Reels and TikTok videos and became viral with the rap singer Skrilla's song "Doot Doot (6 7)" and the basketball star LaMelo Ball (height 6'7"!!). Such no-meaning viral phenomena are called brainrot memes!
It is a paywalled story. I have given the link below.
