AIBU to be flabbergasted that DP had never heard of rickrolling?

[exexpat]

I find it hard to believe that anyone who has spent any time on the internet in the past ten years has not come across the phenomenon - but I discovered last night that DP had no idea. He's in his 40s, a daily internet user (twitter etc) but has apparently never been rick-rolled.

Surely he must be the only one?

[ProseccoBitch]

I'm 40 and use the internet a lot and have no idea what you're talking about.

[OohhThatsMe]

No idea here, either!

[irregularegular]

No idea what it is. 40s and internet user too.

[HemanOrSheRa]

Ha! DS thought the song was actually called 'Rick Rolling'. It took me a while to convince him otherwise.

[OohhThatsMe]

For those who can't be bothered googling:

"Rickrolling, alternatively rick-rolling, is a prank and an Internet meme involving an unexpected appearance of the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a type of bait and switch using a disguised hyperlink."

[LadyMonicaBaddingham]

my DH got rickrolled a few years back and had absolutely no idea what was going on. How I laughed...

[Shakey15000]

Nope, not a clue. It proves he's not on his own

[blackteaplease]

I just had to Google it. I did know what it was but didn't know it had a name.

[TheMortificadosDragon]

Nope, I've never been rickrolled

[Ilovetorrentialrain]

It was a craze many years ago. Maybe he's forgotten?

[spidey66]

I'd heard something of the prank but didn't know it was called rickrolling.

[Olympiathequeen]

Haha. Even my old mum knows what rickrolling is! What rock has he been living under!

[TheMortificadosDragon]

bugger, MN is too bloody clever sometimes.

[Crumbs1]

No idea what this means.

[Freshprincess]

Me neither.
Maybe I should venture outside of MN mo often?

[BarbaraofSeville]

I've no idea what it is, it's never happened to me and I'm not even sure I understand the explanation . Is this perhaps a thing in your world only?

[Redglitter]

Never heard of it

[maras2]

Perhaps he doesn't give a shit

[EllaHen]

This is the first I've heard of rick-rolling. I'm 40 and a daily internet user.

[Friolero]

Nope, never heard of it either.

[EllaHen]

If the video popped up, I wouldn't click on it so I'm not quite sure I understand why it happens, what its purpose is - very confusing.

[tiej]

Never heard of it and don't understand the explanation either.

[Laiste]

Nope. Never heard of it. Can't even muster up enough interest to care that i've never heard of it!

[FoofFighter]

Nope didn't know what that meant, 40s also.
I do however know this one
