Even that one wasn't that early. That was like 2000/2001 or something like that. I remember listening to the mp3 of the song on my drive to college.
Actually it was found that Rick roll was originally inspired by an old Internet video dated back to the late 70s. They did a research on that if you're interested.
Knew what "a research" was linking to, but I clicked it anyway.
I got an ad before the video, ffs. My day is ruined.
Ope, link preview coming in clutch.
