Fortnite Dances, or 'emotes,' became a global cultural phenomenon following the explosive success of Epic Games' battle royale title in 2017. Ranging from original moves like the 'Orange Justice' to licensed pop culture dances and the infamous 'Floss,' these animations transcended the digital world to dominate schools, sports celebrations, and social media. In meme culture, they are often used to express a sense of unearned confidence, ironic celebration, or 'cringe' humor. Whether it is 'Take the L' after a heated argument or a default dance in an inappropriate situation, Fortnite dances remain a staple for gamers looking to add a bit of kinetic energy to their digital content.
