Fortnite Battle Royale launched in 2017 and its early lobby and menu music became closely tied to the Chapter 1 period that followed. As the game updated its map, skins and soundtrack each season, recordings of the earlier theme began circulating in YouTube compilations, nostalgia posts and short form edits. Players who started later encountered it as a symbol of the game's simpler beginnings. It remains in use because a few seconds are enough to identify the era without showing any gameplay footage at all.
