POGGIES

POGGIES is a popular Twitch emote used to express extreme excitement, surprise, or amazement. It features a wide-eyed, open-mouthed Pepe the Frog character with an expression of shock or delight. This emote is essentially a variation of the 'Poggers' emote family, which all convey similar emotions of hype and enthusiasm.

The emote is part of the 'Pog' family of expressions that originated from PogChamp but evolved to include Pepe the Frog variations. POGGIES specifically shows Pepe with bulging eyes and a gaping mouth, capturing a moment of pure excitement.

POGGIES emerged around 2017 as part of the evolution of the original PogChamp emote (created in 2010 featuring streamer Ryan 'Gootecks' Gutierrez). The emote represents a fusion of two major internet phenomena: the concept of 'Pog' (derived from PogChamp) and the Pepe the Frog character created by artist Matt Furie.

The emote gained popularity through third-party emote services like BetterTTV (BTTV) and 7TV, which allow Twitch viewers to use custom emotes beyond Twitch's official offerings. POGGIES spread rapidly through meme culture and became a staple in Twitch chat culture, alongside similar variations like Poggers.

The green Pepe version shown in the image has become one of the most recognizable iterations of this emote concept, featuring the character in a blue shirt with an exaggerated expression of surprise.

POGGIES is typically used in the following contexts:

• When a streamer makes an impressive play or achieves something remarkable in a game
• During exciting moments in esports competitions or tournaments
• When something unexpected or surprising happens during a stream
• To express genuine excitement about announcements or reveals
• Sometimes used ironically or sarcastically to react to underwhelming events
• As a general expression of approval or appreciation for content
• During hype moments when a streamer accomplishes a difficult challenge

The emote is often spammed in chat during particularly exciting moments, creating a visual representation of the collective excitement of viewers.
