"Rickrolling" - do you think it is something people should know what it is? (Do you know what it is?)

I was having an online conversation with a friend who told me about the wedding of another friend of his.
At one point he said: "Oh yes - and the groom Rick-rolled everyone at the end of the service". I was like: "???" He was surprised that I didn't know what it was and gave me the link to the "Rickrolling" wiki page. I read it and was like: "wtf"??? It still didn't make much sense to me... Now I wonder if it's a bit of general internet knowledge everybody should be aware of or if it's more like something cultural (i.e.: Rickrolling as a part of the Angloamerican Internet world)... Could someone please give me some input on "Rickrolling"? |

You make it sound like it's rocket science... Thanks for the enlightening comment and special thanks to you comment, playa. Even though still no one was able to give me a concrete answer why it's got to be this particular video and this particular artist... It could just be called videorolling instead imo. |

at 10:00 AM, Monday June 6, 2011 EDT no one has given you an explanation because there ISN'T ONE. it's an internet meme. there isn't a lot of logic to memes.
I would also say everyone I know is familiar with the concept of typing, or the concept of addition. They're also familiar with the concept of running, the concept of music, the concept of courage. Calling something the "concept of ______" doesn't make it scientific- it usually just makes it a verb or abstract noun. |
