First things first, I have to start with the classic meme of Pepe the frog. He is an original meme of a frog that looks humanoid which had been originated in a comic made by Matt Furie named “Boy Club”. The reason why it got well known was because it had spread throughout Myspace, Gaia Online, and 4chan during 2008 but it wasn’t until 2015 where it was one of the most popular memes.
The meme had included Pepe the frog being in different emotional states such as Pepe being happy, sad, or angry with a quote of “feels good/bad man”. The history of the meme has changed many times changing into a hateful and racist symbol. Many times has the meme evolved into reactions towards something that people feels sad about.
Nowadays, the meme is used in a website named Twitch which was made for streamers and pepe is used as emotions.
