Frolic is Chapter iii's beginning Icon Emote, and it has a long history. It is based on a dance first performed by a user of Japanese video site Niconico, which is pretty much Nihon's very own respond to YouTube. The dancer, known as Nomo Moe (or @noumoe913 on Twitter) uploaded a video of herself dancing in a vegetable garden (be warned, there are some English curse words on the video captions) way back in 2022. The video's description seems to be maxim that the dance is supposed to aid her vegetables grow. The video went modestly viral on Niconico, just when someone posted an edited version on YouTube, it actually took off, attracting millions of views, and transforming Nomo Moe into a vegetable dancing legend.

The song Nomo Moe is dancing to has an even longer history than her dance. It's chosen "Ievan Polkka", which is Savo Finnish for "Eva'due south Polka". The lyrics were written by Finnish composer Eino Kettunen in 1928 to the tune of a traditional Finnish polka, which is in turn based on a Russian folk vocal dating back to the late 19th century.

The version Nomo Moe dances to (and which is used in the official Fortnite Frolic music video to a higher place) is much more recent. It was produced past Otomania for the 2009 PSP rhythm-activity game Hatsune Miku: Projection DIVA. The in-game version in Fortnite is all the same another rendition, presumably produced especially for the game.
