September Memes
In the newest trend meme in August, there’s a famous TikTok meme called ”67” (six-seven), which became viral in late August and early September. Most of Instagram and TikTok say this meme is the most obsessed brain rot in 2025. In more detail, the original 67 meme came from a TikTok video where the kid named “Mason” says 67 during PE class. The video became viral a month later, resulting in many parody videos and trends on social media. Also, nobody knows the true meaning of 67 on social media. But there’s some theory of the true meaning of 67, for example, 6=Mangos as six letters and 7=mustard as seven letters, also mangos and mustard represent the brainrot and Insta memes. Many young teenagers and high school students in America enjoy the meme of September. We wonder what the true meaning of 67 is.
In the following meme, “A barbershop haircut that costs the quarter” (ABHTCTQ) or sometimes called “bro had the whole audience less than 10 seconds” is the next trending meme in today's Instagram and TikTok algorithm. The meme video came from the live clip from a musical concert called “Newsies”, and this meme became viral for the actor ”Kevin James Sievert” who sings the line “A barbershop haircut that cost the quarter”, and then the whole audience claps and shouts while he is singing. A month later, some TikTok users posted a parody of a barbershop haircut, which went viral. Many TikTok users used that meme on social media. So this scene became so famous that it became a meme on social media. Also, a barbershop haircut meme became even more popular on TikTok by mixing up other memes such as “Adrian explains our friend group”, “Eeffoc”, and “67”. The Barbershop meme has many varieties of funny parody and fan-made edit videos in a TikTok community.
These funny September memes are noticeable for old teenage audiences on Reels and TikTok. However, some people on social media are confused and frustrated with these brain-rot memes, so these memes can be a great role model for explaining the new generation of memes and understanding older people on social media. Afterward, there might be other similar memes with this coming up in late September or October.
