Kissahomie

Kissahomie is a popular emote used to express friendly affection, camaraderie, or platonic love between friends. The emote represents the concept of "kissing the homies" - a playful expression of platonic love between friends (particularly male friends) that became popular in internet culture. It embodies the sentiment that showing affection to your close friends is normal and positive.

The Kissahomie emote was first created and uploaded to FrankerFaceZ (FFZ) by a user named Mande on January 23, 2019. It later appeared on BetterTTV (BTTV), another popular Twitch emote extension, uploaded by user PHZEERA on May 27, 2020. The emote is not available as a standard Twitch emote but is accessible through these third-party extensions that enhance the Twitch viewing experience. According to FrankerFaceZ data, it has been included in nearly 2,000 different emote sets, showing its widespread adoption in the Twitch community.
