The real meaning of “6 7”

podcast December 17, 2025


Background

There’s been a lot of discourse about what “6 7” means, but what actually makes it meaningful?

The “6 7″ meme was everywhere this year, online and off. Scrolling through TikTok? You probably encountered it. Sitting in math class? Your teacher probably dreaded everyone shouting out the numbers when they came up in class. NPR intern Sanidhya Sharma investigated the phenomenon by going to schools and sitting down with experts. He’s here now to report back to Brittany and get into why some memes aren’t for everyone.
