The MSN Earthworm, more commonly known as 'Meat' or 'VineMeat,' originated as a custom emoticon for MSN Messenger before being adopted as a mascot by the popular Twitch streamer Vinny of Vinesauce. This 3D-rendered, segmented fleshy creature gained a massive cult following due to its bizarre, unsettling, yet oddly charming appearance. In the Vinesauce community, it is often associated with the catchphrase 'YEOW!' and represents a specific brand of chaotic, surreal humor. Beyond the stream, the meme is used to convey feelings of confusion, existential dread, or simply as a 'random' reaction image that thrives on its low-budget, late-90s digital aesthetic.
