So, guys, can anyone here tell me – what does sourpls mean, or what is sourpls?
The Sourpls emote is a commonly used emote on Twitch that serves a single purpose: to indicate that it’s finally time to pause and celebrate!
By dancing, naturally!
You’ve just defeated a tough boss? Celebrate with a dance!
As you can see, sour pls is used to express feelings of excitement and happiness regarding the current turn of events. What you are conveying with sourpls is “I’m so happy I could dance! And, don’t mind if I do!”
Still, the most exciting aspect of sourpls meaning is that the feeling is so contagious that everyone has to dance!
The Story Behind
Often misspelled as sourplz, this emote functions solely with the BTTV plugin (be wise and select the option that allows you to view GIFs!).
As a GIF, there are inherent issues with displaying twitch sourpls. Consequently, it often fails to work.
Furthermore, this reflects its fluctuating popularity.
Finally, regarding the sourpls origin, the GIF comes from a SourNotHardcore, Twitch employee, YouTube video created in 2007. Officially, we recognize it as a GIF/emote from 2014, so we can say sourpls is an old-school emote.
