Gorilla Tag is a virtual reality social game where players move as gorillas using only their arms, and its community quickly adopted monke as its in joke spelling for monkey. Sounds like this loud screech grew out of lobby culture, where players make primate calls at each other while chasing, hiding and messing around in matches. Clips of those moments spread through short form gaming videos, turning the noise into a recognisable shorthand for Gorilla Tag chaos that works even outside actual gameplay footage.
