My understanding is that it’s the Rickroll of the guitar-playing world.
It’s fairly straightforward for the novice to play, and is associated with the hipster who lugs a guitar everywhere as a fashion accessory rather than to develop any musical talent, where their repertoire is limited to two or three four-chord wonder songs.
In this instance, the guitarist has given the audience member the chance of a lifetime to shred in front of a crowd that most amateur band members will never see in a lifetime… and instead threw out the “so anyway here’s Wonderwall” meme and dropped a simple meme song.
