    As a dad who tries to connect with his kids, I made a 67 reference last week. Their response: “Oh Dad, 67 is old now.” Kids these days can’t even commit to the bit. 🤣

      You made it old when you said it. Could you imagine your own parents making 420 jokes?

        I’ve referenced it a few times in the past and they didn’t complain. Oh well.

    This is why I cannot dislike the 67 meme. I don’t actively like it or anything but we have our own funny number and there were 42 as well and 21 for a while.

    There are definitely things to criticize about the new generation, I am not denying that, but finding a number amusing is too inoffensive for me to care.

            It’s not a calculator thing. It’s an old instant messaging thing that spells PIMP.

        I legit enjoy it and think it’s a fun commentary on legacy vs contemporary media.

    I love the fact that I never turned into this guy that hates the new stuff. I wasn’t hating fidget spinners when everybody hated them, I liked Fortnite, I think skibidi toilet is fun and such. But just as I didn’t like some trends when I was young myself (e.g. I never wanted to join the Gangnam style dance), I do find it disappointing that 67 is so popular, because I loved the fact that 69 is funny because of sex.

      Atleast 69 had a context. 67 literally was a kid spurting out a random number.

        I just kinda assumed it was a mix of memes “why was 66 afraid of 67? Cuz 67 68 69” Ba-dum-cha

        But I mean, the same is true with E. It was a random letter. And there have been other random funny numbers. I just don’t like it because it “hurts” 69’s status of the funny number xD

      Im with you on this. I’m in my mid-40s but I work with a lot of 19-25 year olds so I am still exposed to a lot of current memes/slang/whatever. There’s only been a couple that I thought were absolutely stupid.

    I don’t know what “based” means, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

      It’s the opposite of “cringe”

        Hardly, the use of based this way is cringe.

        https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/based

        (Internet slang, originally 4chan slang) Admirable for rejecting political correctness or socially progressive values. Synonym: unwoke based and redpilled My last account got banned for being too based.

          well that’s what it originally meant

          I’ve mostly seen it referring to other things, sometimes non-political things and sometimes political things but as a positive statement about something progressive

    There is a point where random noises become a song. Disposability of culture is, to my eye, a novelty that hasn’t yet reached the point of becoming a song. It’s just random noises, and I want to silence them with a heavy pipe to the throat
