Hi, I just moved in to Hsinchu. Just curious. Is rickrolling popular in Taiwan? If not is there an equivalent or a Taiwanese version of it?
No. @RickRoll is popular in Sansia.
@RickRoll this sounds right up your alley!
Not as much as @Dr_Milker in Forumosa!
Welcome to the community, @RocketRaccoon !
Answering your question, people in Taiwan aren’t familiar to the great success of Rick Astley as much as westerners.
I remember reading it’s also related to the kind of humor they have here.

Are people still doing that?
Nice try, but there’s no way I’m clicking on that.
Well, you live here long enough, so I don’t think you would gain much from clicking that link.
What is rick roll other than the member here? Never heard of it.
As per above, now im cautious to google it…
Is this a common thing? Never heard of it. Also seems ultra specific, like only eating the north side of rice kernals when at a thai restaraunt in taiwan with a Vietnamese server that only accepts line pay in Yen.
Aight. Thx for the info. Actually I’m assigned a presentation soon so guess it’s time to teach my classmates about it
It was pretty big on social media a few years back. Not so much now.
Feel free to share the link above with them! 
I think these days ligma is more prevalent.
Hahaha
Good swag to get something started.
My office plays music chosen by staff for 30 minutes at 3PM. On Friday never gonna let you down was on the list. Was it a rock roll? I doubt it
I’d give two hearts for that if I could…
edit - no, not for the ligma. I was teaching in NY for the year before we came here, and the 7th grade lads were at least creative enough to slide it into an earth science discussion on minerals. “Mr Leggat, can you tell us about Ligmeus rocks? What about sugmeus rocks?” To which I replied “Certainly, Ligmeus/Sugmeus rocks are what we call polymorphs, meaning they have the same chemistry, but different structure. They are both in the Detentionite family of minerals. Would you like to know more?”
Paraphrased to make myself sound cool, but that was the gist of the exchange.
