peepoBye

The peepoBye emote is a cute, animated version of the Peepo character (a derivative of Pepe the Frog) waving goodbye. It features a small, round, wide-eyed green frog with a blue shirt, raising its hand in a waving gesture. This emote conveys a friendly, cheerful farewell and is used to express goodbye in a lighthearted, innocent manner.

PeepoBye originated from the broader Peepo emote family, which evolved from a poorly-drawn variation of Pepe the Frog called Apu Apustaja (Help Helper). While Pepe the Frog was created in 2005 by cartoonist Matt Furie in his comic 'Boy's Club', the Peepo variation emerged as a more childlike, simplistic interpretation that gained popularity on Twitch.

The specific peepoBye emote became popular on third-party emote platforms like BetterTTV (BTTV), FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), and 7TV, allowing streamers to add it to their channels. It's part of a larger collection of Peepo emotes that express various emotions and actions in an exaggerated, cute style that resonates with Twitch communities.

PeepoBye is commonly used in the following contexts:

• When viewers are leaving a stream and want to say goodbye to the streamer and chat
• When a streamer is ending their broadcast and viewers use it to wave farewell
• When someone in chat announces they're leaving or going to bed
• During raid transitions when viewers are moving from one channel to another
• As a response when someone else says they're leaving
• Sometimes used sarcastically when someone makes a controversial statement and others jokingly "leave" the conversation
