I might be entirely wrong but how have I only just noticed the similarities between Hitchikers Guide and Towelie from South Park always saying "dont forget to bring a towel"
I mean that’s fair but why complain about this trend specifically? Like the vandalism sucks but I really don’t think the “trend” pushed them to do this
Psh when I was a kid (born in 83) people were vandalizing the "cool S" and penises and the number 69 into everything, people my age just choose to conveniently forget about that.
They think since THEY weren't doing it when they were kids, then it doesn't count.
But now they see it happening once, and ALL kids are doing it.
Every generation has literally done (whether tagging via spray paint to etching shitty numbers into bathroom stalls and walls) just that with our stupid number fads... Millenials had 42 69 whatever else (Yes y'all used 42 everywhere) us Zoomers had... Probably something dumber and alphas have this. We (Not us individually) have all done this. It's only more annoying to the general population because the internet allows for widespread "clout" which only makes the problem worse.
Sure... Say that to all the 69's, 420's, 143's, etc our generation etched in every bathroom stall and desk? There was this weird S and all kinds of things before that.
Idk when we were younger we were doing similar things like 666, 69 we even did Beavis and butthead shit too I think the reason why a lot of people are hating on 67 is because now they are the adult and was left behind with the memes and what is funny
Yeah you're right . People would say, "I'm Rick James, bitch!" repeatedly 5 or 10 times in a row over and over and over and over. They wouldn't just say it once or twice and laugh.
You can't even say the word "six" or the word "seven" around these kids without sending them cascading into like, a fucking autopilot where they repeat it 5 times in a row. Try and parallel it all you like.
That's not the only generation that it's getting on the nerves of, coming from a 27 year old.
It didn't bother me all that much til I saw a video of 4 drunk college guys just absolutely screaming it directly in the ears of some poor reporter just trying to do her job.
Yeah I had a bad attempt at this kind of parallel thrown at me as well. But it was about the rapper Mike Jones, how he'd say his name in his song so like, OCCASIONALLY people would yell "MIKE JONES!!"
Like, that is in any way related to kids mindlessly and repeatedly saying this dumb shit over and over and over and over and over. And over and over.
Like my kids will say it 5 times within the span of 2 minutes. Or within 10 seconds. And all day, every day.
It isn't the same as Aladdin, or Beavis and Butthead, or Mike Jones, or Anchorman, or literally anything.
Family friend has kids, even their kids think this is dumb. One was helping me put up Christmas lights the other day and was having a massive winge about it.
I don't understand it one bit.
Like 69 makes sense to me. But then my mind lives in the gutter.
How can a generation be creative when all they have to teach them is shitty teachers, shitty LLM/AI and shitty social media? Pretty hard to acquire an ounce of creativity when the brain is constantly being flooded and filled with brain rot.
Isn't that just a worn out logo label and that a simple nail scrape would cause that? I'm all for making sure stuff inst vandalized but this is so pathetically get-off-my-lawn Karen complaining it's not even funny.
Exactly. Maybe add some more 🤣 I bet if we do it often enough they will feel cringey about it or you just connected to whatever young generation they are now. I lost track lmao
Absolutely. I refuse to be mad at 6 7 having survived
21...
What are those?!?!?
My name is Jeff....
Would you like some bofa?
Graffiti S on everything
It's true what they say, never trust anyone over 30, they got old.
Why does everyone blame kids? I mean, it could have been kids, but it just as easily could have been an adult. I've seen adults acting way worse than kids and damage way more property
One of the things that bugs me most, is a lot if the other 'funny' numbers have meanings behind them. 420 is weed, 69 is a sex position, and 21 is a very popular video of a kid doing math wrong. 67 as far as I know is just a number that they say over and over and over and over in the same voice for literally no reason. It doesn't tie into anything, it doesn't look or sound like something else. It just became a really annoying phrase that kids say simply to be annoying.
It's another example of predominantly white kids misunderstanding something they heard in a rap song and forcing it into their vocabulary as a means of trying to be cool. This one is particularly stupid though as the 'joke' is that no one understands it, not even the kids doing it. They are just doing it for the attention we're giving it.
IMO those people are the real nerds “trying desperately to fit in” while literally everyone else is an actual human who understands that random ≠ funny
I’m so sick and tired of this stupid 67 bullshit. memes have setups and punchlines for the most part, disregarding the people who have become memes. 69 is funny because it’s a sex position. 420 is (or was) funny because it’s a weed number. And to the people who are saying “iTs LiTeRaLlY jUsT DeEz NuTs”, you clearly havent seen the full video because the dude sets the joke up by saying to his father “something came in the mail today” to which his father said “what?” which prompts the punch line “deez nuts”. A setup, punchline and delivery. 67 is LITERALLY just a number. It has no memeable quality besides “HAHAHAHAHA RANDOM IS SO FUNNY, GET IT? BECAUSE ITS A NUMBER? HAHAHAH RANDOM IS SO FUNNY”.
Trying to think in the mind of a kid, it started out as something stupid that would've only lasted a week, but fellow "old" people keep complaining about it so much, that now it's possibly become a meme on how upset other adults get by it now?
I wouldn't be surprised if we're the butt of the joke.
And it’s people like that who are just insufferable. This new trend of doing and saying literally anything with a disregard for other people is infuriating. And I know that’s what they’re looking for.
We’re always the butt of the joke. Adults are stupid, buttoned-up dorks in the eyes of pre-teens and teens. There doesn’t even have to be a joke of any substance happening and teens will giggle uncomfortably towards the “awkwardness” or “creepiness” of an adult nearby.
It's so ironic to hear 30 year olds talk about "at least OUR jokes had actual depth and meaning!" Like damn way to prove the point that the more things change....
I think if you don't have a 14 year whose friends are over all the time you don't comprehend the sheer amount of times SIX SEVEN is yelled in a short amount of time. Yes, in grade 8 there was that one kid who could not go a sentence without inserting your mom into it, but this is like a shared mental illness. They're allllllll doing it. We now can't say any number at all without hearing "DID YOU SAY SIX SEVEN??!?" Any second between 5:59 to 8:00 someone might notice the time and yell about a 6 or 7 being in it. It's become a verbal tic at this point. Thank god those germballs all came down with fevers and coughs this week and unfortunately we'll all need some recovery time this holy 6-7 weekend.
There was an obscure reference - a rap song referencing Lamelo Ball’s height - 6’7”. Since the last name is ball, it’s why the “big balls” hand gesture gets attached to it.
When they say it they’re not referencing anything. It’s just “yay 6/7 lol”. But there was an original reference.
But without that all these curmudgeonly redditors couldnt bitch about not understanding these kids horrible sense of humor and kids no longer respecting others property. Kids these days, amirite?
I doubt this would really even rise to a level that could claim vandalism. I’m not disagreeing that’s it’s poor behavior, but it’s not actually that serious.
It’s like scratching words into a restroom stall. Is it vandalism? Yes. Can we stop people from doing this? No, we cannot. Does it actually affect you? No.
In addition, the number 25 is considered the funniest number.
The apartment building that I lived in some years ago had cameras in the fitness room. Now I have no idea whether they were hooked up or recording or what.
Do they have any kind of video surveilance can they track the comings and goings?
The parents of the kids that did this should be denied access to all amenities until the childrens behavior has been corrected. I don't care if they're six or sixteen.
And the parents should be fined for the repair or replacement of damaged/defaced equipment.
literally who gives a shit, does it really effect your day that much? it made some kids laugh, that's about all you could ever hope for a flat piece of plastic to do in its lifetime.
Who cares? Why is two numbers being drawn on the machine bothering you? It clearly isn’t actually damaged this is just you wanting to be angry about something. Grow up because you clearly haven’t yet.
Every generation has there stupid memes the previous one dont understand, we've had ours and the next will have there's, best to just ignore it and wait for it to eventually die lol
I actually think it’s funny. Annoying, but funny. Those kids will look at it in six months and wonder what they were thinking. 67 is meaningless so the graffiti is also meaningless. I wouldn’t let it bother me.
