I mean, it’s still just a bait and switch. I never really got why doing it with Rick Astley was groundbreaking.
I'm interested in the oldest still-used internet memes, regardless of their quality. Bait and switching itself has existed forever.
Is linking a Rick roll a meme? I thought memes were reused images with text, guessing the definition is shifting. I saw someone calling numa numa a meme the other day.
