Jigglin is a Twitch emote that depicts a cat or small animal jiggling or shaking, typically used to express excitement, hype, dancing, or celebratory vibes in chat. The emote shows movement and energy, making it perfect for moments when something exciting happens on stream or when viewers want to show they're having a good time. It's often spammed during hype moments, when music is playing, or when celebrating wins and positive events.
Origin
Jigglin appears to be a custom emote (likely from 7TV, FFZ, or BTTV) that features what looks like a cat in motion, captured in a grainy or vintage-style image. The exact origin and first upload date of this specific emote would require checking the emote databases, but it follows the pattern of animal-based emotes that became popular in Twitch culture throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s. The emote capitalizes on the internet's love for cats and the trend of using animal reactions to express human emotions in chat. Custom emotes like this often originate from specific streamers' communities before potentially spreading to wider use across Twitch.
