Fortnite, developed by Epic Games, launched its battle royale mode in 2017 with a small set of starter emotes, including the default dance that every new player receives. Its short, upbeat music quickly became shorthand for the game itself, and players began sharing it outside matches in montages, streams, and short videos. Bass-boosted edits, which exaggerate the low frequencies for comic impact, spread through meme pages and soundboards, where the louder, punchier version worked better as a joke cue. It remains popular because the dance is instantly recognisable even to people who do not play Fortnite.
