What does the 5Head emote mean on Twitch?
5Head is a variant of the popular 4Head emote. In this version, Cadburry, the face behind 4Head, has an enlarged head to indicate that he is ridiculously smart.
The 5Head emote is used when someone makes a very smart play, for example in an Among Us game, when an imposter can bullshit their way out of a kill.
Alternatively, 5Head can also be used to mock someone for making a very stupid play in a game.
Example
Did you see Disguised Toast’s latest Youtube video? He is so 5Head.
What is the origin of the 5Head emote on Twitch?
5Head was uploaded to FrankerFaceZ in 2018 by user SublimedTV. A year after its upload to FrankerFaceZ, the emote was picked up by XQC’s community. This due to the popular streamer being known for making both very intelligent moves and stupid moves at the same time.
An example of 5Head XQC is below.

Through being spammed in the XQC chat and his subreddit often discussing XQC’s 5Head, the emote quickly blew up all over Twitch.
Later on, the 5Head emote would blow up even more when just about every popular Twitch streamer started playing Among Us and showing off their 5Head strategies.
Presently, 5Head is both a popular Twitch emote and slang word in the Twitch community.
The FrankerFaceZ emote is enabled by over 100,000 channels on Twitch. According to Stream Elements, 5Head has been used over 18,000,000 times and is in the top 50 FrankerFaceZ emotes.
