wideOmeDwerk is a stretched/widened variant emote that combines the 'Ome' emote style (typically featuring a person's face) with a twerking or dancing animation effect. The emote shows a horizontally stretched face with motion blur or layering effects that create the impression of rapid side-to-side movement, mimicking a twerking or dancing motion. It's used to express excitement, hype, celebration, or chaotic energy in chat.
Origin
This emote is a derivative creation that builds on the 'wide' emote trend that became popular in Twitch culture around 2019-2020. The 'wide' format originated from the Wide Putin Walking meme and was adapted to Twitch emotes to create humorous stretched versions of popular emotes. The 'Ome' portion likely references a specific streamer's emote that was then modified with the 'wide' and 'twerk' effects. These types of animated, stretched emotes became particularly popular on platforms like 7TV and BetterTTV, which allow for animated custom emotes. The specific 'wideOmeDwerk' variant appears to be a community-created custom emote rather than an official Twitch global emote.
