Elizabeth Olsen Can’t Get Enough of the Internet’s “6-7” Meme
Elizabeth Olsen recently made an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, where she admitted she’s surprisingly up to date with one of the internet’s most random trends, the 6-7 meme.
During the interview, Olsen joked that she often feels disconnected from pop culture. “I don’t really know what’s going on in the culture,” she said. “But I do know about 6-7. I think I’m really into 6-7.”
Host Seth Meyers mentioned that his kids often say it, though he admitted he doesn’t understand what it means. Olsen laughed and offered an explanation. “I can explain it to you, I think. Someone tried to explain it to me,” she said.
“So I think the reason they love it is because it’s absurd and random. And how great? Like I think we’re really doing a lot of things that are maybe cynical or pointing at something — and there’s something really funny to me about the abstraction and absurdity of just getting excited about two numbers that are in order.”
She continued, “It’s not like a funny combination, it’s just like how it’s always been.”

The 6-7 meme has taken over TikTok and Instagram Reels throughout this year. It doesn’t actually mean anything, but that hasn’t stopped millions from using it. The phrase started with the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by rapper Skrilla, which became popular in sports edits, especially ones featuring NBA star LaMelo Ball, who happens to be 6 feet 7 inches tall.
From there, the meme spread fast. Basketball player Taylen “TK” Kinney started using the phrase in his videos, which helped it grow even more. Then, in March, a young fan named Maverick Trevillian went viral after yelling “six seven” at a basketball game. The clip made him famous online as the “67 Kid.”
The meme has since exploded across social media. People now use 6-7 in jokes, memes, and even in sports celebrations. There’s no real meaning behind it, it’s just something funny and random that people say. Some schools have even tried banning it because students keep shouting it during class.
Experts say 6-7 fits into what’s called the “brain rot” trend, a wave of online humor that doesn’t make much sense but thrives because of how silly and meaningless it is. It’s become a kind of secret code for younger generations, especially Gen Alpha, who love its weird energy and simplicity.
Olsen’s enthusiasm for the meme shows that she appreciates its lighthearted nature. While she admits she doesn’t always keep up with pop culture, she clearly enjoys how strange and playful the internet can be.
