What does `get drawn along by' means in this sentence?
Please explain it.

People 'get drawn along by'-people go along with, like fashion, for example. Girls get drawn along by the fashion.They are influenced by fashion trends.
Imagine you're in a crowd which is moving all in one direction.You get drawn along by the people.You go in the same direction.(I hope
