Origin

It features a stylized audio equalizer or sound level meter design with bars of varying heights in purple and blue gradient colors, creating a visual representation of audio frequencies or sound waves. This emote has been part of Twitch's standard emote library for several years, designed to be universally recognizable as a music or audio symbol.
When to use
