Discussion: Bandwagon Stans! Sep 14th 2012, 00:53 A bandwagon is defined as “when someone adopts a popular point of view for the primary purpose of recognition and/or acceptance by others.” A bandwagon (in the context of stan wars) occurs when a music fan attaches himself to the scrotum or ****oris of an artist because it is popular or trendy, not because that artist is a reflection of their actual tastes or preferences. Liking an Artist==/== Joining a Bandwagon Just because you find yourself liking an artist, that doesn’t mean you’re jumping on a bandwagon. Bandwagoning occurs when the idea of stanning for someone becomes more important than actually going and supporting them and trying to figure out what makes them special and talented --- assuming that they are special and talented. Bandwagoning occurs when you are mainly interested in any cool points that can be derived from this artist and once you're done with them, you toss them aside for the next trend.
