A populist-esque phenomenon. When someone adopts position after position because the position’s in-group popularity or astroturfed popularity.

This is most often done to increase (social) media engagement rather than being a sincerely held belief or only becomes a sincerely held belief as a result of its popularity and not its rationale or substance.

Surfing from narrative wave to narrative wave of popular opinion among one’s in group.

why are conservatives now supporting abortion and gay rights?

They’re narrative surfing dude.

nose surfing

Wearing a protective face mask improperly by exposing the nose, leaving the nostrils free to expel germs.

Look at that woman nose surfing over there! Hey, Karen, get those little nostrils in the barn! What makes you think your germs aren’t infectious?!?

I can’t stand these nose surfers!

garage surfing

A form of mischief, where teens sneak into unlocked garages and raid the 2nd fridge for beer.

If desperate, teens will resort to stealing hard cider

I hate being pranked by local teens stealing my beer. Now I have to padlock my fridge so I’m not a victim of garage surfing. - Joe Pera
