NODDERS

NODDERS is an animated emote based on Pepe the Frog that shows him nodding his head in an approving manner. It's used to express agreement, approval, or satisfaction with something said in chat or happening on stream. The emote features a green Pepe character with a blue shirt/background, nodding rhythmically.

The NODDERS emote is derived from the popular internet meme character Pepe the Frog, created by Matt Furie. While the exact creation date of the NODDERS variant isn't precisely documented, it became popular on Twitch as part of the broader collection of Pepe-based reaction emotes. It's widely available through third-party emote services like 7TV, BTTV (Better Twitch TV), and FrankerFaceZ, which allow streamers to add custom emotes beyond Twitch's native offerings.

The emote gained significant popularity as viewers found it perfect for reacting to music and showing agreement in chat. It's part of a pair with its counterpart NOPERS (Pepe shaking his head to indicate disagreement).

NODDERS is commonly used in the following contexts:

• When agreeing with something a streamer or another chatter has said
• During music segments or when a streamer plays a song that chat enjoys (often referred to as "head-nodding music" or "fire music")
• As a positive response when a streamer asks for chat's opinion or approval
• When responding affirmatively to a streamer's call to action
• During hype moments when viewers are collectively showing enthusiasm
• Sometimes used ironically when sarcastically agreeing with something obviously wrong
