Fortnite, released by Epic Games in 2017, made its Default Dance one of the most recognisable emotes in gaming, with players using it to celebrate wins and taunt opponents in Battle Royale matches. Clips of the dance spread quickly across YouTube, TikTok and social media, where the simple moves and catchy music became shorthand for playful confidence. Bass-boosted edits later turned the track into a louder meme sound, and it remains popular in short-form videos because the opening beat is instantly familiar even to viewers who do not play the game.
