The emote is used to express intense anxiety, fear, or tension during particularly stressful or suspenseful moments on streams. It's essentially a more extreme version of the original monkaS emote, with the zoomed-in perspective emphasizing the panic and worry.\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Cp>MonkaW belongs to the family of \"monka\" emotes that originated from the monkaS emote. The original monkaS can be traced back to 4chan threads in 2011, specifically a \u002Flit\u002F board post on July 16, 2011, where a \"Nervous Pepe\" illustration first appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The name \"monkaS\" comes from Twitch user MonkaSenpai (also known as Monkasen), who uploaded the sweating Pepe emote to the Better Twitch TV (BTTV) extension on March 16, 2016. The \"S\" in monkaS stands for \"scared,\" reflecting the emote's anxious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The monkaS emote gained significant popularity around February 2017 when it began to be frequently used in Forsen's channel (a popular Swedish Twitch streamer). MonkaW emerged as a zoomed-in variant of monkaS sometime after the original emote's popularity surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As of October 2019, MonkaW was reported to be the 16th most used emote on the platform. It's important to note that MonkaW is not a default Twitch emote and requires the Better Twitch TV (BTTV) or FrankerFaceZ extension to use and view.\u003C\u002Fp>","\u003Cp>MonkaW is typically used in Twitch chat during:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Extremely tense or suspenseful moments in gameplay, such as clutch situations in competitive games\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>When streamers are in dangerous or high-pressure situations\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>During horror game jumpscares or frightening moments\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>When something unexpected and potentially negative might happen\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>During close finishes in races or competitive matches\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>When a streamer is about to make a risky decision\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cp>The emote is essentially an amplified version of monkaS, used when situations are particularly intense or when viewers want to express a higher level of anxiety or concern than what monkaS conveys.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"loginLabel":13,"loginHref":14,"ctaLabel":15,"ctaUrl":14,"links":16},"Log in","https:\u002F\u002Fapp.streamladder.com\u002F","Sign up now",[17,73,79],{"label":18,"hasDropdown":19,"dropdownType":20,"items":21,"popularLabel":59,"popularItems":60},"Tools",true,"tools",[22,29,35,41,47,53],{"label":23,"description":24,"href":25,"badge":26,"icon":27,"imageSrc":28},"ClipGPT","AI-powered clip detection and editing for streamers","\u002Fclipgpt","Popular","clipgpt","\u002Fclipgpt-color.svg",{"label":30,"description":31,"href":32,"icon":33,"imageSrc":34},"Clip Editor","Free browser-based clip editor with layouts, captions, stickers, and effects","\u002Fclip-editor","clip-editor","\u002Fvertical-clip-color.svg",{"label":36,"description":37,"href":38,"icon":39,"imageSrc":40},"Content Publisher","Schedule and publish clips to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram","\u002Fcontent-publisher","content-publisher","\u002Fsocial-post-color.svg",{"label":42,"description":43,"href":44,"icon":45,"imageSrc":46},"Montage Maker","Combine clips into highlight reels and YouTube compilations","\u002Fmontage-maker","montage-maker","\u002Fmontage-maker-color.svg",{"label":48,"description":49,"href":50,"icon":51,"imageSrc":52},"Schedule Maker","Create and share your weekly streaming schedule","\u002Fschedule-maker","schedule-maker","\u002Fschedule-maker-color.svg",{"label":54,"description":55,"href":56,"icon":57,"imageSrc":58},"Emote Maker","Turn your clips into channel emotes","\u002Femote-maker","emote-maker","\u002Femote-maker-color.svg","POPULAR",[61,64,67,70],{"label":62,"href":63},"Auto Captions","\u002Fclip-editor\u002Fcaptions",{"label":65,"href":66},"AI Clipping","\u002Fclipgpt\u002Fai-clipping",{"label":68,"href":69},"Virality Score","\u002Fclipgpt\u002Fvirality-score",{"label":71,"href":72},"Vertical Layouts","\u002Fclip-editor\u002Fcustom-layouts",{"label":74,"href":75,"hasDropdown":19,"dropdownType":76,"recentPostsLabel":77,"viewAllLabel":78,"viewAllHref":75},"Blog","\u002Fblog","blog","RECENT POSTS","View all posts",{"label":80,"href":81},"Pricing","https:\u002F\u002Fapp.streamladder.com\u002Fupgrade",[83,89,94],{"title":84,"path":85,"category":86,"readTime":87,"image":88},"How GhostKai Scaled His Horror Brand with Clips","\u002Fblog\u002Ffrom-chaotic-clips-to-consistent-growth-how-ghostkai-scaled-his-horror-brand-with-streamladder","Expert Interview","5 min","https:\u002F\u002Fstatic-files.cdn.streamladder.com\u002Fmarketing\u002Fstreamladder\u002Fblogs\u002F69b2dc9f0aa64aa5ab88f6bc_k.png",{"title":90,"path":91,"category":92,"readTime":87,"image":93},"🎥 The true reasons to start streaming this year","\u002Fblog\u002Fthe-true-reasons-to-start-streaming-this-year","Tips & Tricks","https:\u002F\u002Fstatic-files.cdn.streamladder.com\u002Fmarketing\u002Fstreamladder\u002Fblogs\u002F699d820a6521ff21d823d0c6_h.png",{"title":95,"path":96,"category":97,"readTime":87,"image":98},"Creator Accelerator Program Introductory Blog","\u002Fblog\u002Fcreator-accelerator-program-introductory-blog","News","https:\u002F\u002Fstatic-files.cdn.streamladder.com\u002Fmarketing\u002Fstreamladder\u002Fblogs\u002F6996ddd2e689c9485cf7c08d_blog_blerp.png",{"copyright":100,"columns":101},"© 2026 StreamLadder.
