When asked by Complex[7] about the meaning of the numbers, Skrilla said, “Everybody else got their own different meaning. But for me, it’s just ‘negative to positive.’ It helped me turn from a negative person to a positive person.”
In a comment to the Wall Street Journal[11] from the same timeframe, he also said, “I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to … That’s why everybody keeps saying it.”
So it’s a number repeated in a song that the artist says has no meaning, instead of it just being a meaningless number.

The 67 meme literally means nothing. It’s not even referencing the code, or the song it originally went viral to which was referencing the police code.
I would argue that it has an origin but lost its meaning since the people who use it don’t know the meaning. At this point, it’s more than anything a cultural signifier which isn’t a new thing either. People try to belong to an ingroup and adopt their insider even if only as marker of that group.
It’s literally not, you just don’t know what it means.
Carefully observe how the above argument lacks any supporting argument or information.

But do they know why six was afraid of seven?
Because seven ate nine
