I still don't really get how the "no one" tag works.

This meme works perfectly fine without "no one" preceding it.

Most "no one" memes do.

Why add the no one in front?

Is it like nobody asked to be told about this?

Thank you for your time

THANK YOU! It has become a pet peeve of mine. I think it's supposed to reference "no one asked". But if that's the case, the meme should be

Nobody: "Hey I'd really like every music video to be shot with a fish-eye lens".

or

Everyone:

It doesn't make sense.

I think this is the first explanation I found searching, "no one asked", but yea, if that's correct, it is not super clear and is often redundant
