where does this term "bandwagon" come from?
well..
Literally, a bandwagon is a wagon that carries the band in a parade. Riding on the bandwagon is popular since one can enjoy the music, conveniently without walking. The phrase "jumping on the bandwagon" is therefore used in the sense of "joining an increasingly popular trend." (The earlier phrase "hop on the bandwagon" was coined in 1900 during William Jennings Bryan's second campaign for the U.S. Presidency.)
