Elizabeth Olsen breaks down what ‘6,7’ meme means and it’s left people shocked

Elizabeth Olsen is apparently down with the kids as she reveals she's a fan of the ‘6,7’ meme.

In case you've been living under a rock or don't have any children to keep you in the loop, '6,7' has become a popular saying among Gen Z and TikTokers alike.

So much so, teachers even went and banned the phrase (pronounced 'six-seven') from classrooms earlier this year.

As for its definition, well, Dictionary.com says it doesn't really mean anything, despite crowning it Word of the Year for 2025.

If you're just as confused as I am, luckily for us, the 36-year-old WandaVision star has weighed in on the matter.

While speaking about her recent role as a 90-year-old woman in the upcoming movie Eternity, set to hit theatres later this month, Olsen said it was 'something really different to get to lean into' but that she feels 'like an old lady in real life.'

"Not like, wise," she told host Seth on the Late Night with Seth Meyers show, "I do just feel a little out of touch with the times.

"I don't really know what's going on in culture.

"But I do know about 6,7," Olsen continued. "I'm really into 6,7."

When Seth said his own children use the term, she offered to 'explain' the meme.

"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, I don't know, 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."

Olsen continued: "It's not like a funny combination. It's just like how it's always been."

Her interpretation seems to hit the nail on the head, if the Dictionary definition is anything to go by, which dubbed it 'meaningless, ubiquitous and nonsensical.'

However, the internet has gone into meltdown over the Godzilla star's comments.

"Why is Elizabeth Olsen explaining 6-7 in my fyp? LMAO," said one on X.

Another chimed: "I never would've expected Elizabeth Olsen would know what 6-7 is," with a crying emoji.

"Elizabeth Olsen knowing about 6-7 was not on my bingo card..." echoed a third, while many more said they'd 'never felt older than this moment.'

"How does she know more about it than me," joked another.

As for where it came from, its origin can be traced back to hip-hop artist Skrilla, who dropped the track 'Doot Doot' in December last year.

In the song, he raps: "6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (bip, bip)."

Meanwhile, Dictionary.com said the phrase 'has all the hallmarks of brainrot.'

"It’s the logical endpoint of being perpetually online, scrolling endlessly, consuming content fed to users by algorithms trained by other algorithms."
