    I think I can shed light on the 6 7 hate. To do so though, I need to cover why people are okay with the others. 420 and 69 have been around for ages so they get a pass for being grandfathered and having transgressive origins. Quick maths (2+2 is 4, minus 1 that’s 3) got its fame for being an incredibly stupid thing to say in the middle of a rap while also simultaneously going way too hard for how silly it sounds. Lastly you have 21, which was a vine meme so again, a more grounded and community based origin.

    What makes 6 7 stand out is that it’s from the British school system, and British culture sucks.

    I rest my case.
