Here's an idiom for you to try out this week in your daily speaking practice!
This phrase is used a lot as it means to follow a trend or something that has become very popular, so to jump on the bandwagon is to also participate in this activity.
It can also refer to changing actions / opinions to a more successful one, in order to benefit from that success - for example in politics when a member may change sides on a debate you'd say they're jumping on the bandwagon.
Let’s have a look at some examples:
After a couple of politicians won elections by promising to cut taxes, most of the others jumped on the bandwagon.
So many people are trying to quit smoking that I might as well jump on the bandwagon and quit as well.
