Are you looking at a meme of a sad Pepe the Frog? It's the \"sadge<\/em>\" emote, popular on the BetterTV and FrankerFaceZ emote apps on Twitch. This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.<\/p>\n

Meaning<\/h2>\n

The meaning of the emote \"sadge<\/em>\" is content or comments that make you \"sad<\/em>\" and \"cringe<\/em>\" at the same time. The word is a combination of these two. It serves situations online that makes you feel uncomfortable and depressed at the user making the comments or posting the content.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \"sadge<\/em>\" emote on Twitch is a version of the original \"Pepe the Frog<\/em>\" meme, and it features Pepe with a sad, long face, sometimes with a tear in his eye. If you're posting the sadge emote in chat, it's because someone said something depressing and cringeworthy in one comment.<\/p>\n

In some cases, the sadge emote on Twitch is suitable for voicing your anger or surprise at something sad happening. An example might be the canceling of your favorite streamer or TV show. Generally, the emote follows others people's thoughtless comments, and it's a way to voice your opinion about their choice of content.<\/p>\n

Example Usage<\/h2>\n

\u201cThat content is proper sadge. I can\u2019t believe I wasted two minutes of my life scrolling through it. Please do better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is sadge. I\u2019m logging off right now, and I\u2019m going to cry myself to sleep in the shower. Is anyone with me on this?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, why the sadge face, bro? Don\u2019t go posting this nonsense online; it makes you look weak and pathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last thing you need is everyone to peg you as the sadge guy. If you want to post that kind of content, be prepared for the backlash.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t stand reading through sadge content. It makes me depressed and cringe at the same time. Is there anything worse than that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo we have to go through this now? This is nothing but sadge reactions and cringey content. Let\u2019s skip it and say we looked at it anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Origin<\/h2>\n

The expression \u201csadge\u201d originates from the creation of \u201cPepe the Frog\u201d by Matt Furie. \u201cPepe the Frog\u201d is a popular internet meme created in 2005, debuting on Furie\u2019s MySpace page. 4Chan users found Pepe in 2008, and the frog became an instant internet classic meme, with Pepe featured in various emotional states and doing different actions.<\/p>\n

Twitch picked up the mem only a year later, adding it as an emote on the platform. The user \u201cMonkaSenpai\u201d was the first to upload the emote to Twitch under the \u201cMonkaS\u201d emote. The success of the emote lead to adaptations like the \u201cMonkaHmm\u201d and \u201cPepega\u201d emotes, all featuring Pepe in some manner.<\/p>\n

In early January 2020, the Twitch user \u201cRedshell\u201d uploaded the \u201cSadge\u201d emote to BetterTV, and the FrankerFaceZ browser added it six days later.<\/p>\n
