What people will "ride" or get on when they want to be accepted, espescially in the NFL. People will get on the (Colts) bandwagon and suddenly become their fans because they are doing really good or because they have a large number of fans so they can be accepted.

People will ride a bandwagon even if they dont give a shit about football or whatever the bandwagon is.

Girls who don't care about football chant: who dey! who dey! who dey! who dey!

A term used to describe those who go out of their way to look and act a certain way in order to fit a social stereo type. An example would be the ever popular "hipster".

The term could also be used to describe a group of people attempting to start a new sub-culture or counter-culture of their own. The pioneers of a new bandwagon trend.

In sports, someone who selectively cheers for a particular team (Team A) not because he likes them or follows them faithfully, but only because another team (Team B) that he does not like, happens to be doing worse than Team A. This person then enjoys ridiculing fans of Team B, and often will claim that they have been "a fan forever", but only for the time being, because when Team B performs better than Team A, they then go back into hiding and remain silent.
The Rudde bandwagoner hopped on the band wagon and bragged about the Padres, but only when they were doing better than the Dodgers.
