TwitchConHYPE is an official Twitch emote used to express excitement, enthusiasm, and hype specifically related to TwitchCon events. The emote features a smiling person showing genuine excitement and positive energy. It's used to celebrate announcements, express anticipation, or show general hype about TwitchCon-related content and the Twitch community at large.
Origin
TwitchConHYPE was created by Twitch as an official promotional emote for TwitchCon, Twitch's annual convention where streamers, fans, and industry professionals gather. The emote was introduced around 2016-2017 as part of Twitch's efforts to promote their convention series. TwitchCon itself started in 2015 in San Francisco, and has since expanded to multiple locations globally including San Diego, Europe, and other regions. The emote features a real attendee or community member expressing genuine excitement, capturing the energetic atmosphere of the convention.
When to use
This emote is typically used in several contexts: during TwitchCon announcements and promotional streams, when streamers discuss attending or participating in TwitchCon, during major Twitch platform announcements that often coincide with the convention, to express general hype about meeting other streamers or community members IRL, and to celebrate Twitch community milestones. It's also commonly seen when viewers are excited about potential meetups, panels, or special events happening at TwitchCon.
