The Bandwagon Bandwagon

October 3

The bandwagon doesn’t have many bandwagon fans.

We’d much rather have been here from day one. The oldest fan of the winning team. The biggest loser of the latest fad diet. The early investor of the AI-driven super-startup that will probably end life as we know it.

Not just for the things themselves, but for the talk tracks. The one liners. Stories about teams or letting someone know you tried it too or pictures from the latest latest, not just for others, but wrapped around our shoulders like blanket, a nice, neat little thing to feel good about.

Maybe they blind us, maybe we find ourselves trend hopping, but outside of that, is there anything wrong with being a bandwagon fan of the bandwagon?

If you had been the one to start it, wouldn’t you want it to be generous enough to welcome other people in?
