Wowers

The Wowers emote depicts a green frog character (a variant of Pepe the Frog) with exaggeratedly wide, surprised eyes and an open mouth. This emote is used to express extreme amazement, astonishment, or surprise in Twitch chat. It's essentially the visual equivalent of saying "Wow!" or "Oh my god!" when witnessing something particularly impressive or unexpected during a stream.

Wowers is based on Pepe the Frog, a character originally created by artist Matt Furie that has become a staple in internet and Twitch culture. This specific variant shows Pepe with an exaggerated expression of shock or awe.

The emote is not a default Twitch emote but is instead available through third-party browser extensions like 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ). The earliest uploads of this emote date back to the early 2020s, coinciding with a surge in popularity of personalized Pepe emote variants across streaming platforms.

The name "Wowers" is a playful variation of "Wow," emphasizing both the word and the character's stunned expression.

The Wowers emote is typically used in the following contexts:

• When a streamer pulls off an impressive play or move in a game
• In response to surprising plot twists during story-based games or media share
• When something unexpected or shocking happens during a stream
• When a streamer reveals something surprising or makes an unexpected announcement
• During reaction content when something particularly impressive is shown

To use or see the Wowers emote in Twitch chat, viewers must have at least one of the third-party extensions (7TV, BTTV, or FFZ) installed, as it is not available in standard Twitch chat.
