Someone who's just a complete twat, so annoying, attention-seeking, wants to be in the centre of everything but they can't really succeed in doing this. Originated from the song 'shutup by stormzy'

Backup dancer came up about 2014 when I kept having friends bring these randoms out them. These people tend to not know they are backup dancers. They generally bring nothing to the table, occasionally they have money but 9 times they are just here to make you look good. They are sometimes mistaken for acquaintances but normally you don't know much about they. After a while they graduate from backup dancing to actually friends.

Backup dancer is a gritty localized term used by the inhabitants of England describing a person who lingers in the back of every circumstance without a purpose and is classified as irrelevant to the human society.
This term emerged from a rapper named Stormzy who performed a free style at a South London Park
