Since its inception, Fortnite has always allowed players to express themselves via emotes. Over the years, these emotes have become more elaborate, and Fortnite has incorporated all manner of pop culture into the game in the form of emotes.

Emotes in-game have evolved from simple salutations and taunts to complex movements mixed in with background music.

In some ways, Fortnite can be considered a pop-culture aggregator, consistently collecting and adding popular dance moves from social media and incorporating them in-game.
