When my kid does 6-7 I do the same gesture saying 8-9. It also means nothing and it's bigger, so "I win". Annoys the hell out of them.
I go with "Ya, 42 right? I love Hitchhiker's guide. You are never going to go wrong with a guy Hitchhikers reference with me.". And then I go for a high-five that never gets returned. This shuts the entire thing down in such an amusing way.
"Why was 6 scared of 7? Because 7 8 9."
(that works better spoken, than in text. ... 7 ate 9.)

My favorite thing is the boomer anger towards 6-7
"Back in my day, our funni numbers mean something, and we wore onions on our belts, as was the fashion of the time"
No 1337 in sight? smh
No 1337 in sight? smh
"THAT'S BECAUSE I'M IN A DIFFERENT FRANCHISE!"

I prefer 0118 999 88199 9119 725 3
42 is objectively the best number since it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
No.. its the answer to the question
You need to phrase the question
I mean well yeah. The other numbers actually have some kind of meaning 67 is just nothing.

Because they have some meaning (and arguably, value) beyond "a number we choose to be a meme."
The minute enough people knew what 6 7 was, it lost the only value it had: being an inside joke and using it to exclude others not in the know.
i'm still not-in-the-know and i prefer to keep it that way

Execute Order 66
McDonald’s is always a fun time with my friends if that’s our number. No one else bats an eyelid however.
But Christ when 67 appears
It's just that 67 is lame. It's a reference to some video so whatever, but the creepy thing about it is people are expected to laugh uncontrollably when they hear the number. And they do it because they have to do whatever social media demands of them.
The whole 67 thing is cringey.
They aren't? It's a kid thing let kids have dumb fun
