Fortnite is a game that is more than just about surviving in battle. It's also about making a style statement with every kill. Emotes and dances are a huge part of this pop-culture aggregator. Aside from creating original emotes/dances, Epic Games has incorporated a lot of pop culture into Fortnite.
Popular TikTok trend songs often get added to the game as emotes. The TikTok-inspired “Rollie” emote is popular among players. "The Renegade" was added to the game after dancer Jalaiah Harmon started a viral social media trend.
It is speculated that Fortnite stole the iconic Fortnite Default Dance move from the show Scrubs. While the truth may never be known, the dance move is evergreen in Fortnite.
