A parody NIST reference-material label is shown on a plastic case resting on a woven surface. Instead of scientific contents, the list contains vague music categories and clues, including “Rick Astley,” which implies the sample is a collection of songs designed to trigger rickrolling and other musical jokes. It is sent as an absurd reaction to presenting a suspiciously comprehensive or standardized collection of music references.
