A seemingly meaningless chant – “6-7” – has become one of the most disruptive and widespread youth trends of 2025, baffling parents, irritating teachers and even prompting jokes from the highest levels of US politics. What began as an internet meme has now spilled into classrooms, churches, fast-food counters and Google Search itself.
Often shouted when the numbers six and seven are mentioned together, the phrase is usually followed by a rhythmic response of “seven” and a distinctive hand motion that resembles juggling. While it carries no clear definition, its very lack of meaning has helped it spread rapidly among children and teenagers across social media platforms and school corridors.
