To become sidetracked while browsing YouTube or another video site, usually resulting in forgetting why you were there in the first place and getting mired for hours in a maze of videos that are (or simply looked like they ought to be) funny or enticing.
The other night I was looking for a movie about that new helicopter, but I got completely sidebarred and before I knew it, I found myself watching Coming of Age clips and nearly three hours of my life had just disappeared.

Get the Sidebarred mug.Often occurs on video websites, such as YouTube.
A user begins by listening to a familiar song, and once the song is over they will sometimes click a Related Video on the side of the page. They can do this for the picture, or because the song is by the same artist, or whatever reason. Hence "sidebar".
Before long, and after several songs, the user will look back at their viewing history and notice they've gathered an odd, but awesome group of songs. Hence "journey."
When you see a "sidebar journey" comment, feel free to give them a thumbs up for stepping outside of their comfort zone.
