Twitch Chats: The Babysitting Service of the Next Generation
Twitch chats can be overwhelming, especially for new users or those unfamiliar with Twitch speak, internet meme language, or emotes.
Sometimes, Twitch chats explode with emote spam. These emotes may appear as words in the chat window due to browser extensions like BetterTwitchTV or FrankerFaceZ.
One popular emote you’ve probably seen in Twitch chats is “monkaS.”
What does monkaS mean on Twitch?
When someone types “monkaS,” they are using a BetterTwitchTV emote of Pepe the frog looking nervous and sweating. It represents fear or nervousness during a Twitch stream.
Users post this emote when they are scared or if a streamer is playing a scary game. If monkaS is being spammed, it’s a sign to be afraid.
The emote was created in 2016 by a user named Monkasen or MonkaSenpai.
