Death Bandwagon

The phenomenon that happens when a celebrity dies and people who have never heard of them are devastated by the news, as if the bandwagoners knew the celebrity personally. Let's say in high school there was a kid that no one talked to and then he commited suicide. After this, everyone else was so upset about it and are mourning the kid they never/barely knew. It is usually to gain attention.

Everyone keeps hoping on XXXTentacion's death bandwagon trying to get attention.
