Fortnite Battle Royale, developed by Epic Games and released in 2017, included the default dance as one of its first emotes, available to every player from the start. Its simple moves and catchy backing track were quickly copied in gameplay clips, livestreams and real-life videos, turning a basic in-game celebration into a widely recognised internet meme. The dance spread far beyond the game itself, appearing in sports celebrations, school hallways and short-form videos. It remains popular because the music alone instantly identifies Fortnite, even for viewers who have never played it.
