"6-7, this one's infamous. More in Gen Alpha, I would say, than Gen Z, but Gen Z use it in an ironic way. Doesn't really have a meaning, to be honest. Literally can just be said out of the blue, with, you know, the hand motions of your left and right hands, you know, going up and down a little bit, with your palms facing upwards. It actually comes from a song called Doot Doot by Skrillo. Literally it has no meaning at all, can just be randomly said. And yeah, literally just 6-7, that's an example."
What it means
One of those internet expressions that works precisely because it means almost nothing. People drop 6-7 at random, usually with that little palms up hand motion, to add chaos, irony, or just weird energy to the moment. It shows up more around Gen Alpha chat, though Gen Z will use it too with a wink. Pure nonsense, somehow iconic.
Usage examples
"Teacher starts talking about taxes, Jay just hits the palms up thing and goes 6-7, and the whole class loses it for absolutely no reason."
