[edit] Music

A flag waver is the section of a piece of music which is meant to excite and envigorate the audience. It is generally the final refrain. It is also meant to show off the band's technical skill.

[edit] Politics

In politics this cliché is frequently employed as a metaphoric description of patriotism. In this context, it can be a compliment, or, more often, an insult or accusation of excessive patriotism, or flamboyant patriotism, or deception. Please see "waving the bloody shirt".
