What does 4Weird mean on Twitch?
The 4Weird emote on Twitch is a variant of the popular 4HEad emote – which was created in 2015 by League of Legends streamer Cadburry‘s community. The original emote was spammed in chat by viewers when ‘Cadburry’ made a cheesy joke on stream.
However, the 4Weird version of the popular emote is used slightly differently. Typically, it’s used when a streamer does or says something particularly weird, hence its creative name.
