It doesn't matter whether the music was put on by the streamer or if it's playing in the background. As long as someone is vibing with the music, they can post catJAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emote can also be used ironically. Sometimes viewers will use the emote when unpleasant music is played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>catJAM isn't just an emote on Twitch. It's an infamous meme that's used across all social media platforms, particularly Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Streaming-Room-Setup-with-a-Live-Game-on-Screen-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Streaming Room Setup with a Live Game on Screen\" class=\"wp-image-5831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Streaming-Room-Setup-with-a-Live-Game-on-Screen.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Streaming-Room-Setup-with-a-Live-Game-on-Screen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Streaming-Room-Setup-with-a-Live-Game-on-Screen-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Origin_of_the_catJAM_Emote\"><\/span>What is the Origin of the catJAM Emote?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The origin of catJAM has its roots in a viral TikTok video of a vibing cat. TikTok user \"Micklagi\" posted a video of his cat bopping its head to \"I Wanna Dance\" by Jonas Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original video quickly became a hit and spread to other social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It became a viral meme when drummer Bilal Goregen posted a video of the cat vibing to his cover of Levan Polkka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>catJAM eventually became popular over the entire internet. It would soon spread to Twitch when it was uploaded to BTTV by user \"MadLittleCat\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emote didn't reach peak popularity on Twitch until it was added to xQc's Twitch channel in late July 2020. With this, it gained popularity, being added to many more streamer chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, many of the biggest streamers have the catJAM emote enabled on their channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_catJAM_Emote_on_Your_Twitch_Account\"><\/span>How to Use catJAM Emote on Your Twitch Account?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get catJAM and other emotes on Twitch by downloading one of two browser extensions: BTTV or FrankerFaceZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BTTV\"><\/span>BTTV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BTTV, or Better Twitch TV, is an extension that opens up new Twitch features and custom emotes.
