Never Gonna Give You Up was released by Rick Astley in 1987 and became one of the most famous bait-and-switch pranks on the internet, known as rickrolling, when disguised links in the late 2000s led unsuspecting viewers to the music video instead of the promised content. Synthwave remixes later gave the joke a new life, dressing the familiar chorus in retro electronic production popular with meme editors and streamers. The format endures because almost everyone recognises the hook instantly, so the surprise still works even when people expect it.

A synthwave remix of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, turning the classic rickroll into a retro electronic prank sound for memes and video reveals.
This clip reworks Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up into a synthwave track, swapping the original pop production for glowing retro synthesizers, a driving electronic beat and a warm eighties atmosphere while keeping the instantly recognisable vocal hook intact. The melody still lands exactly as listeners expect, but the neon-soaked arrangement makes the reveal feel smoother, cooler and more cinematic than a straight rickroll. That contrast is the joke: viewers brace for a familiar prank, then get a stylish remix that sounds like it belongs in a late-night drive scene, which makes the moment funnier and far more shareable.
