Meaning:
“带” means to “lead,” and “节奏” means “rhythm.” Originally a gaming term, this phrase was first used to refer to the scenario where experienced gamers lead a battle and control the rhythm of attack. Now, this term can be used in a more general situation where people make controversial statements about certain disputed issues, leading to large numbers of online mobs to start a fight. Those who started the online disputes often have the secret agenda to draw traffic to their website or social media account.
Example:
A: 我有些亲戚总是给我转发耸人听闻的保健帖，真拿他们没办法。
Wǒ yǒuxiē qīnqī zǒngshì gěi wǒ zhuǎnfā sǒngréntīngwén de bǎojiàn tiē，zhēn ná tāmen méi bànfǎ。
Some of my relatives always forward me sensational fake health tips, but I can do nothing about it.
B: 是啊，很多老年人重视健康，又缺少科学常识，总是被一些伪科学的论点带了节奏。
Shì a，hěnduō lǎoniánrén zhòngshì jiànkāng，yòu quēshǎo kēxué chángshí，zǒngshì bèi yīxiē wěikēxué de lùndiǎn dài le jiēzòu。
Indeed. Many old people are concerned about their health but lack scientific knowledge and common sense. They easily become followers of fake science beliefs.
