	This [[Logical Fallacies\|Logical Fallacy]] is a combination of [[Appeal to Popularity]] and [[Appeal to Consequences]]; here, it's suggested that because something is ''becoming'' popular, it should be accepted quickly or the person being spoken to will lose out in the long run. The name comes from the classic idea of getting on the bandwagon before it leaves; in this fallacy, the fact that there are a lot of people on the bandwagon and it might leave are the ''only'' reasons given to accept, with no reason why getting on the bandwagon is actually a good idea.
