Memes[1] about numbers have been a recurring phenomenon this year. First there was 67, then there was 41. Now, some TikTok[2] users are trying to spread a 93 meme too.
A big part of the internet is now confused about why the number ninety-three is a meme. Why would it be? Why would the numbers six and seven be a meme to begin with? Let’s try and explain what’s going on.
@coopytok[3] 93
Where Did The ’93’ Meme Come From?
The “93 Meme” is entirely based on the success of the “67 Meme[5],” which has a confusing history of its own. Six and seven became a meme when little boys apparently couldn’t stop quoting the lyrics of the song “Doot Doot” by Skrilla throughout this year.
The prime example of a 67-saying young one is the appropriately named “67 Kid[6],” who cringed[7] out a lot of internet users and propelled the funny numbers to mainstream awareness.
Then came the meme creators who wanted to find the next 67. “41” became the successor, based on a song by Blizzi Boi, in which he pretended to be a 41-year-old just entering the rap[8] game.
None of it really made a lot of sense, so some TikTokers thought they could get away with the schtick again. A TikToker named @ninetythree93._[9] then posted a video, proclaiming that 93 was the new number to laugh at.
The video showed Twitch[10] streamer Fanum[11] pointing with a caption reading, “When everybody you know stuck on ’67’ and ’41’ but [you’re] already on 93.”
The meme’s structure was intertwined with TikTok’s “Niche Community[12],” which is built on astroturfing[13] new memes and killing them the next day, all for a laugh.

Is The ’93’ Meme Spreading?
A lot of people jumped on the “93 Meme” bandwagon when it first dropped last month. However, the trend has seen a dip in followers since its origin.
Some have even come out to criticize the trend, like TikToker Hoopify, largely known for his “Baby Gronk Rizz King[19]” video but also known for astroturfing the “41 Meme.”
“We’re NOT making 93 a meme,” he proclaimed in one recent TikTok video[20], expressing a widely held belief that 93 is a forced meme[21].
