minus-squarethallamabond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 month agoYou mean before YouTube existed? Back when downloading a picture took minutes? A 90s Rick roll would have been someone putting the music video on VHS, then mislabeling it, then sharing it.
minus-squareRaiderkev@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 month agoTbf, waiting a day n a half for a video to load, only for it to be a Rick roll would have been way funnier. Too bad the meme didn’t exist yet then.

minus-squareFauxLiving@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·1 month agoNo, in the 90s a rickroll was goatse, tubgirl, lemon party, blue waffle, pain Olympics, etc Google them at your own risk
minus-squarethallamabond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoNo, only goatse existed in the '90s, and that’s 1999. Everything else on your list was from the 2000s.
