What's Happening?
Douglas and Heather Boneparth's Halloween costume, inspired by the viral '6-7' meme, has gained significant attention online. The meme, originating from a lyric in the song 'Doot Doot' by Skrilla, became
popular when used to describe NBA player LaMelo Ball's playing style. The Boneparths' costume, featuring sweatshirts with the numbers '6' and '7', was shared on social media, amassing millions of views. The couple intended to humorously end the meme's popularity, but their children surprisingly liked the costume.
Why It's Important?
The viral nature of the '6-7' meme highlights the rapid spread and influence of internet culture, particularly among younger audiences. The Boneparths' attempt to 'end' the meme by participating in it underscores how parental involvement can sometimes diminish a trend's appeal to youth. This phenomenon reflects broader societal dynamics where generational differences in cultural engagement can impact the longevity and evolution of trends.
