Somebody who says that they hate something (usually related to musicians, movies, TV shows etc.) but has never actually seen or heard the aforementioned thing. They usually just read a bunch of other people's comments online and decide that they're going to feel that way now because everyone else does.
"Uh, Nickelback are literally the worst band ever. All their music is just generic"
"Dude, have you ever actually listened to any of their albums or songs?"
"Uh, no I haven't"
"Then you're being a bandwagon hater".

When media outlets pick up on a trend and simultaneously write a bunch of articles on it that say the same thing in different words, that's a bandwagon article.

Anyone who claims they are a "fan" of a sports team, even though they had no prior support for the team until that team started winning. Additionally, anyone who claims they are a "fan" and has no background affiliation with the organization.

A sports fan who only supports a team, because they are currently playing well, and will usually jump from one team to another if they start to lose. They usually know nothing about them, or their history, and will usually make up lame excuses for supporting them such as liking their name or logo.
Person A: I am a New York sports fan, you?
Person B: Well, I'm a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Rockets, and Toronto FC, you?
Person A: Interesting. Can you name atleast 3 players from these teams, besides Star Players, and why you support those teams?
Person B: Sure I can. Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato! I support them because they have cool logos!
Person A: I see, you're a bandwagon fan. Well then, good luck this year.
