The scene
“Never Gonna Give You Up” was Rick Astley’s debut single and a worldwide number one. Twenty years later, 4chan users started disguising links to the music video as something else.
Being “rickrolled” means clicking a link and getting the video. It’s one of the longest-running pranks on the internet; the video has passed a billion views on YouTube.
