Saddle up for the Fortnite fans–something just got real with the latest Pharmakos. Surf Curse, the indie rock duo steeped in dreamy nostalgia, now has its counterpart emote in Fortnite. Players are going mad spinning those dances!
And reactions to the in-game release of this emote with the band’s track can only be described as chaotic. Some gamers celebrated it, some seemed downright confused, and some just memes-memed-it-up. A random day in the life of Fortnite community antics.
“I love the music,” said Mickael Lebon, one among them, in French, to which I would respond: Me too! That track has so much of the lo-fi surf-rock feeling-the kind of music where you just want to chill and vibe while playing the game. Another player, Angela, in the meantime, went off saying she wants more anime collabs, Naruto, to be precise, which is a great point, but like… can we just focus on the Surf Curse emote for a moment?
Speaking of which, there are even some players who claim they have witnessed the emote previously. ExtaticUwU tweeted, “Feel like I’m having a Mandela effect where this emote already existed.” Bruh, same. With the number of emotes Fortnite has amassed, one really has a tough time keeping track. Nah, this one is fresh.
Quite some fun and madness from the Fortnite gang on Twitter after that. Some are asking about Terminator skins (???), some are in a debate…about something (really, who even knows), and some are dishing out memes by the thousand. Classic.
Now back to the collab! It’s legit. Surf Curse is not exactly a household name, so for them to be in Fortnite at all feels like a nice shout-out for all indie music lovers. So, if you’ve been looking for something a bit different from the usual pop and rap emotes…this could be it.
Is it going to dethrone the floss and orange justice? Probably not. But a worthy member of that ever-growing list of Fortnite dances to compete with. And maybe it will open the doors for some more indie people to enjoy a moment in-game.
If chill vibes are your thing and you want to lean on them more while stunting in your next match, be sure to get the Surf Curse emote. Don’t come at us when you’re carried away melodiously and forget your building duties, okay?
And Angela-we hear you begging for Naruto. One day. Maybe.
