The bandwagon works on at least two levels. First of all, it tries to give the impression that a lot of people are doing something or supporting some position; then it suggest that the judgment of the masses is sound: If so many people are doing it, then it must be right. Second, and more important, the bandwagon is an emotional appeal to our need to belonging. We don’t want to be left out.
