"Six, Seven!" Trend Explodes Beyond TikTok, Sparking Classroom Chaos and Pop Culture Parodies

TikTok listeners, if you’ve spent any time online lately, you’ve probably heard someone yell “six, seven!” at school, work, or maybe even in a meme. According to Economic Times, the bizarre “6-7” trend has exploded beyond TikTok and into classrooms, playgrounds, and pop culture, even getting parodied in a new episode of South Park. The origins are all part of internet legend now: a catchy lyric from Skrilla’s “Doot Doot (6 7)” took off when kids started making fun edits, NBA player LaMelo Ball jokingly took it as a nickname, and soon entire crowds were chanting “six, seven” at In-N-Out Burger and during dance rehearsals, just to be in on the joke.

Teachers everywhere have had to adapt, too—some join the fun with call-and-response games, while others prank their students with impossible math quizzes where every answer is, you guessed it, “67.” Even though the phrase is mostly nonsense, it’s become an inside code for Gen Alpha, acting like a secret handshake for those who want to show they belong to the internet’s latest comedy club.

Over on the music side, Vavoza highlights major trending hits, with Kanye West’s “Runaway” and DeeBaby’s “Marz” leading the viral soundtrack of October 2025. No surprise, dance mashups are taking over, from party edits in the Philippines to global TikTokers flexing their moves in mashup compilations. If you want those sweet, sweet free likes, guides from The Dodo Shop say the trick in 2025 is all about creating short, creative content, hopping on challenges, and cross-promoting every catchy sound you can find.

But there’s also big news behind the scenes. Business Insider and Breitbart report that TikTok’s fate in the U.S. is up in the air as its Chinese owner, ByteDance, faces pressure to sell its U.S. ops and hand over the app’s secret-sauce recommendation algorithm to American hands. This has some TikTokers worried about whether the platform will feel different: creators are anxious a new algorithm could make those For You pages less tailored and more boring, while critics argue the old system was too good at manipulating what people see. UMSI professors at the University of Michigan even point out that replicating TikTok’s algorithm anywhere else could be tougher than it sounds.
