Decoding the '6-7' Meme: Ariana Grande's Take on the Internet Craze
Ariana Grande recently made it clear that she is not a fan of the "6-7" meme that has been circulating online. During a conversation with Adam Sandler for Variety's Actors on Actors series, Grande seemed puzzled when Sandler mentioned shooting "six or seven" scenes in a row. She later took to Instagram to express her confusion about the meme and clarified that she was reacting to the emotional scenes, not the meme itself.
For those who are unfamiliar with the "6-7" meme, it has become a popular joke among Gen-Alpha kids and teens. The phrase originated from a lyric in the Skrilla song "Doot Doot" featuring G Herbo and has since been associated with NBA edits and a specific hand gesture. The humor of the meme lies in simply saying "6-7" for the sake of it, without any deeper meaning attached to the phrase.
Despite its seemingly nonsensical nature, the "6-7" meme has gained significant traction online and even earned the title of Dictionary.com's word of the year in 2025. The meme's popularity has led to various references in pop culture, including a South Park episode that parodied the craze. It seems that the appeal of "6-7" lies in its simplicity and the joy of repeating the phrase for comedic effect.
Ariana Grande's reaction to the "6-7" meme serves as a reminder that not everyone is on board with every internet trend. While the meme may continue to thrive among younger audiences, Grande's candid response highlights the diversity of reactions to viral phenomena in the digital age.
