<!-- title for this is "Screamer (video game)" -->
The TriHard community is a community dedicated to trolling streamers on Twitch and YouTube with shock videos, offensive content and attempting to get them banned from the platform as early as 2015. One of the most well-known methods that they would use are requests to put media on streams which would contain shocking or offensive content with sometimes a chiptune playing silently or loudly in the background. The community organizes their events on [[wikipedia:Discord|Discord]] which are also known as "Legions".
