rickroll

Perhaps it’s the fact that I grew up in the 80s, but I think I may be the only one who likes being Rickrolled. Rickroll is the act of deceiving an online user by directing them to Rick Astley’s 1987 video for “Never Going To Give You Up” instead of their intended destination. The song has become a joke since 2007 when Rickrolling became prominent, but it just never gets old.

The act of Rickrolling is still strong because the song is fun and Rick Astley’s dance moves are hilarious. Have you been Rickrolled lately?
