Yeah it is Blocboy JBs dance but Fortnite made it a global phenomenon as opposed to just being known by rap fans

Saltiness is from the crowd that dont play multiplayer games (but consider themselves "hardcore") that just can't believe why a game like fortnite is so popular

I always feel like I'm missing out on some cultural phenomenon by disliking Fortnite.

Same here. I tried it for a moment, but when I saw people building planks mid air to get cover and climb up buildings I stopped the game. Never gone back. Maybe I should give it another shot. But I just dont like that stuff.

I was catching 40 winks on the sofa this afternoon when i was woken by an eardrum-bursting scream. What happened? Did England score again? Well, yes they did, but it wasn't Lingard's goal that excited my son so much. It was his celebration. "He just did the Fortnite dance!"

Have we ever seen a video game penetrate the market on such a grand scale? Global audiences don't come any bigger than the World Cup and Epic had just profited from the kind of free advertisement no amount of cash can ever buy.

I see it's making the news already.

And this is just the start. I wouldn't be surprised to see more Fortnite-style goal celebrations in the later rounds, and imagine this, the final. Epic must be rubbing their hands with glee...
