「Six Seven !」

「Six Seven !」(6-7)我必須承認,初次被年輕人們問我知否這詞彙時,還以為是新一代的粗口代名詞。

原來非也,「Six Seven」是二○二五年度詞彙,現時在TikTok和Gen Alpha(Alpha世代,二○一○年後出生)間爆紅用語。它於我像一串敲打着世代之門的密碼,身為研究傳播學的人,我竟在這些碎片裏迷了路。

我像個舉着放大鏡在兒童塗鴉前苦思的考古學家,忍不住追問:「不是粗口的話,到底代表甚麼?表達甚麼意思?」眾年輕人靜默後爆出哄笑。短髮女孩答:「它甚麼都不是啊!」他們展示影片中的人,可在成功、失敗或看到迷因時大喊「Six Seven」,原來,這詞並無具體定義,是萬用感歎詞,表達荒謬、無聊、搞笑或純粹圈內共鳴。重點就是年輕人覺得「毋須解釋或解讀,在於大家都明(懂就懂)」的氛圍——語氣沒嘲諷沒啥非表達不可之意,說的人和聽的人,只有某種共享荒謬的親密感。我愣住,忽然想起傳播理論課上自己曾斬釘截鐵地說:「所有流行語必然承載社會意涵。」此刻,這句話像回力鏢般擊中眉心。

另一男孩補充:「就像我們突然說『香蕉會飛呀!』一樣,沒啥意思,亦沒啥想表達,純粹夠無聊!懂就懂,不懂亦毋須解釋,讓他們不懂就好!」我忽然懂了。這代人在資訊海嘯中長大,意義被過度生產、過度解讀。於是「Six Seven」成了他們的避難所——一個刻意空洞的符號,拒絕被定義、拒絕承載重量。它唯一的功能,就是標記「此時此地,我們一起胡言亂語」的瞬間。這或許是年輕世代的一種身份認同,特點是故意讓家長、老師、大人聽不懂,以此建立「屬於我們的內梗(inside joke)」。

或許,每個世代都需要點「毫無意義」的語言符號,去逃脫意義的牢籠。Alpha世代,顛覆了我的世代,「Six Seven」令我發現:雖然一把年紀,世界還有太多現象我不懂。
