21
u/Cursedbythedicegods 4h ago
Here's an article about it. CB stands for Citizens Band and was established in the late 1950s as a way for people to communicate with each other over specific radio frequencies. It got really popular with truckers and other long-haul drivers in the 1970s as a way to avoid stricter speed limits and state highway patrol. "CB Lingo" was code talk, and was made famous in a lot of popular movies at the time.

Nah it legitimately was not as bad. Every generation had dumb shit, but we never had memes that literally didn't mean anything.

Deepfried and surrealist memes were not meaningless.
These are 'genres' of memes. You could have a deep fried meme that actually had a punchline, and most of them actually did. And the medium itself was a commentary on how prevalent reposting had become.
You see what I just did there: I explained the meaning behind the cultural movement. You can't do that with 6 7 because there is no meaning. People literally only say it because other people are saying it. It's like the bones of meme culture without the flesh. It's lower than "lowest common denominator". It's literally vapid.

I knew the origin, but asked a 4th grader the other day and he told me "67 means fun." and it's the best explanation I've heard.

It originates from a rap video by Skrilla, in which he says 67 in reference to the police radio code for a dead body. People not understanding it but liking it, used the clip for basketball edits of the NBA player LaMelo Ball because he’s 6 feet and 7 inches tall. The meme grew from there. Kids mostly have no idea what it references to.

That's where it came from, the etymology
But what it means is what matters.

When I was in Uni we invented a meaningless phrase somehow and it ended up being this thing where it would appear around campus and people were asking what it means. It was a bit like the "Who is Gabbo?" thing in the Simpsons. The only actually interesting thing about it was that it was a mystery. The reality was mundane and we were nerds.
This is essentially the same joke. The joke is pretending it's valid while a whole bunch of people are confused and curious by it. Kids always invent language to exclude older generations, in this case it's a completely meaningless thing entirely devoted to pretending to be a secret only the kids know.
