pepeD

PepeD is an animated emote featuring a pixelated version of Pepe the Frog dancing. The emote shows Pepe moving side to side while raising and lowering his arms in a dancing motion. It's commonly used to express enjoyment, particularly when music is playing during a stream.

The image shows the static version of pepeD, which is a green pixelated Pepe head with the characteristic frog features in a dancing pose.

PepeD was created on June 6, 2018, by a BetterTTV user named "garych" who submitted the animated pixel art emote to the BetterTTV extension platform. The emote gained significant popularity after several prominent Twitch streamers including xQc, MOONMOON, and AdmiralBulldog added it to their channels.

Like many other Pepe emotes, pepeD is derived from the original Pepe the Frog character created by Matt Furie in his 2005 comic series "Boy's Club." The character evolved into numerous meme variations across platforms like 4chan and Reddit before becoming a staple of Twitch culture through various emotes.

PepeD is typically used in the following contexts:

• Music appreciation: Viewers often spam pepeD when they enjoy the music being played on stream, creating a visual representation of dancing to the beat
• Expression of joy or excitement: The dancing animation makes it perfect for conveying happiness or excitement during stream moments
• During hype moments: When something exciting happens on stream, viewers may use pepeD to celebrate
• During stream intros or outros: Often used when streamers play their intro/outro music

The emote became even more popular through creative content featuring it, including YouTube edits that combined pepeD with other dancing emotes like PepePls.
