About

Twitch Emotes are emoticons displayed in Twitch chat which typically feature faces of notable streamers, Twitch employees or fictional characters used to express a variety of emotions.

Origin

In June 2011, public beta for the video-streaming site Twitch was launched. In June 2012, the site TwitchEmotes.com[4] was launched as a database for emoticons used in Twitch chat.

Spread

On July 14th, 2015, YouTuber Huwarf uploaded a satirical video titled "Twitch Emotes Explained," featuring a text-to-speech program highlighting several situations to use various Twitch emotes (shown below).



On October 21st, 2015, the poll analysis blog FiveThirtyEight[3] published an article about Twitch emotes, noting that Kappa dominated as the most popular global emotes on the service.
