parziSmooch is a custom emote depicting the streamer Parzi making a kissing or smooch face at the camera. It's used to express affection, love, appreciation, or to send virtual kisses to the streamer or other chatters. The emote shows Parzi with pursed lips in a kissing expression, typically used in wholesome or endearing moments.
Origin
This emote originates from the Twitch streamer Parzi, who is known for variety gaming content. Custom channel emotes like this are typically created from screenshots or photos of the streamer themselves, capturing specific expressions or moments. The 'Smooch' suffix clearly indicates the kissing gesture being made. These types of personalized emotes became popular as Twitch expanded its emote slots for Partners and Affiliates, allowing streamers to create unique emotes featuring themselves. While the exact upload date would require access to Parzi's channel emote history, custom streamer emotes of this style became increasingly common in the mid-to-late 2010s as Twitch's emote system matured.
