Rick Astley is a british singer, songwriter and radio personality. He rose to fame when recording his song "Never Gonna Give You Up" which was a number 1 hit single in 25 countries. It won the 1988 Brit Award for Best British Single. And in 2007 his song became a meme known as "rickrolling" which is why he is basically the most important person to exist.
It is confusing why "rickrolling" became a thing, some say it's because it's cringey and funny way to trick them. It has been going on for a long time now, even now it's relatively popular to do and lots of people know what to watch out for. Some people even have the URL link memorized. It was so popular at one point that they rickrolled a whole stadium. This didn't just benefit the internet but it also helped Rick Astley, he made 12 million dollars from that video alone. He is the perfect being and is believed to be a demi-god walking among men, truly remarkable
