What to Know
You know how cool trends or phrases tend to die as soon as parents start using them and make them, well, incredibly uncool by association? That’s kind of what happened when JD Vance shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) about the six-seven trend and his five-year-old giggling about it during a church service.
Vance’s post was very “how do you do fellow kids” in a way that made it seem like he was trying to relate to everybody and jump on the six-seven wagon. He even made a joke about adding a line in the First Amendment to ban six-seven. You can’t tell me that joke wasn’t a way to appear relatable to parents everywhere, and it was so cringy it hurts. Can’t the politicians leave anything for the people to enjoy?
JD Vance also wants to know where the “6-7” trend came from.
Yesterday at church the Bible readings started on page 66-67 of the missal, and my 5-year-old went absolutely nuts repeating "six seven" like 10 times. And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the first amendment and ban these numbers forever.

Look, a lot of us are tired of hearing kids shout “six seven” any time they hear those words in succession. My daughter’s class even banned saying the phrase. On the other hand, my son’s middle school class celebrated the sixty-seventh day of school because of the six-seven trend. It’s a whole thing that us normies know well, so we don’t really need the vice president chiming in. But chime in he did with his X post where he wrote about his son.
“Yesterday at church the Bible readings started on page 66-67 of the missal, and my five-year-old went absolutely nuts repeating ‘six seven’ like 10 times,” Vance wrote in his X post. “And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the First Amendment and ban these numbers forever.”
He followed it up with a comment that said, “Where did this even come from? I don’t understand it. When we were kids all of our viral trends at least had an origin story.”
Some believe it started because of a Scrilla song called “Doot Doot (6 7),” but that hasn’t exactly been confirmed. If Vance were relatable in any other way, this might be a charming way to see that even the vice president has to deal with his kid’s obsession with the trend. But, because most of his social media posts are more harshly political, no one (and I mean no one) asked for his take on six-seven.
Although Vance likely isn’t actually trying to ban the use of six-seven, someone commented to point to where Vance’s attention should be instead of trying to get internet points on social media.
“JD Vance, there are veterans living homeless and you are creating legislation to ban 6 7,” they wrote. “You’re such a niche baby.”
Someone else commented, “The most unserious administration of all time. Two dudes obsessed with trying to be funny on twitter while completely f—ing up the country. Beyond laughable.”
To be fair, plenty of Vance and Donald Trump supporters added their own comments to the X thread to share their unending love for Vance once again. But there are plenty of others who aren’t here for Vance’s horribly timed jokes.
