The line originated from an early 2025 song titled Doot Doot(6 7) by Skrilla. After the song was released, several professional basketball players promoted the two numbers by claiming the height of 6’7 as their own. Multiple memes arose from 67, there are several faces that remind others of 67, but the main meme is just the two numbers. Most memes go out of style after a few weeks, and sometimes a few months, but 67 has been thriving for over a year. Dictionary.com even named it as their word of the year. DHS has mixed opinions about 67, some are afraid of its impact, others hope it lasts longer, and many people are tired of the meme and wish for it to fall from the spotlight as soon as possible. “I think it’s taking over the world. Even my 5-year-old cousin says it now. I fear it’s gone too far because now everyone is saying it,” Bea Cady, 9th grade. 

Interview with Sheridan Brull(Teacher at Durango High School):

How do you feel about the meme 67?

“I think it’s funny just on the basis of how easy it is to get people to react when you say it.  It seems innocuous, and I use it sometimes to get students’ attention, so I make it work for me.”

Do you feel it has gone on long enough?

“The more you try to control these things, the longer they stick.  I’m not really concerned about how long it sticks around.”

Why do you think that 67 has maintained popularity after such a long span of time?

“It’s spread on social media to multiple generations of people, then it bled into life beyond the screen and just stuck.  When people look into it and realize it has a pretty vanilla meaning, they just go with the flow and use it, keeping it going.  It’s a dandelion meme – deep roots, lots of seeds, low maintenance, and kind of helpful.”

How has 67 impacted DHS?

“Speaking for my classroom, it’s a sure-fire way to grab students’ attention or lighten the mood about something.  If you accept it for what it is and not try to control it, it’s pretty fun. Like life.”
