NotlikeThis Emote Meaning

“Yes, it’s what I need. Yes, it’s what I wanted. But not like this. Really, not like this!”

Ahh, there are just too many things about not liking this emote!

Where should I start?

The Twitch not like this emote can be used to express mixed feelings about what is happening on the stream.

For example, something went horribly wrong, yet the outcome can be seen as positive—you achieved what you wanted, just not in the way you expected!

This would be the right occasion to use twitch notlikethis.

In a way, the notlikethis emote is there to help you express your disbelief and resignation regarding what is currently happening or what someone is saying.

Essentially, when things aren’t going your way or as you had hoped,  notlikethis  is the emote to choose.

It’s as if you’re expressing “No, no, no, don’t do that, I can’t believe it’s going to happen this way” with the not like this meme twitch.

The Story Behind

As for the not like this origin, we have Ben Swartz to thank.

Namely, Ben Swartz, also known as Bensw, is the person behind the notlikethis Twitch emote. We see him with his hands in his lush hair, appearing to be in disbelief at what is happening.

Since he was a kid, it has been his habit to do the same thing, which he did while watching an EVO tournament game in 2015 when HugS86 lost.

That’s about the notlikethis origin regarding the visual representation.

As for the name of notlikethis, or not like this twitch, I’ll just say The Matrix.
