Why does some strange hash-tag trend on twitter?

The bandwagon effect (also with the car-crash factor.)

Controlling the bandwagon is a big deal. Indeed, the last month of the political race this season was almost totally obsessed with controlling the bandwagon (i.e., who was leading in the polls) rather than discuss actual policy issues.

Google has influence over bandwagons.

How does Google have influence over bandwagons, please?

Have you ever actually read anything about the way that Google approaches search, by the way?
