You Got Rickrolled
At that time I didn’t know the term Rickroll yet. Rickrolling is an Internet meme involving Rick Astley’s music video for his song “Never Gonna Give You Up”. In a Rickroll, a person provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand which actually takes the user to the Astley video. It can also mean playing the song loudly in public in order to be disruptive. The practice began as a variant of an earlier prank called duckrolling, in which a link to a popular celebrity or news item would instead lead to a photoshopped picture of a duck with wheels.
