I don’t think you need to be chronically online in Australia to know about it either, and we don’t watch the parade. We do share a language, and more importantly, most popular music with y’all though.

Most people here would definitely know the song. The song itself has become incredibly popular, of course. But the phenomenon of trolling someone with a rick-roll would be too obscure for someone described as “very-much-not-online”.
So that’s the context I made my comment in. Internet culture is huge here, but it lives on the internet. But hey, in no way am I the decider on what is normal elsewhere.
