A common internet game involves generating an alias typically associated with exotic dancing. This alias is often created using a combination of one’s birth information, such as the month and/or day of birth, combined with a favorite color, animal, or other personal preference. For example, someone born in July who likes the color red might generate the alias “Ruby Blaze.”
The popularity of creating these kinds of aliases reflects a playful exploration of identity and self-expression. These games often provide a lighthearted outlet for individuals to engage with themes of performance and transformation, referencing the cultural associations of exotic dancing without necessarily implying participation in the profession. Historically, adopting stage names has been a practice across various performance industries, offering performers a way to craft a persona separate from their everyday identity.
