drifter (Noun)

A person who is using an electronic device (i.e. texting, facebook or any other social media) while walking and not paying attention to their surroundings. They typically drift across the side walk and cutoff or collide with other people on the side walk. They are clueless and seem to be on another planet inside their phones. 99% of the time their heads are down while walking, they only lift their heads to take a sip from the coffee they are usually carrying.
The drifter (Noun) was meandering down the street and almost got hit by a car and then walked into a telephone pole.

Social Drifter

A social drifter is generally someone who travels between different social groups from year to year, never growing attatched to one person or group of people. Every person has their own reason for being a social drifter; some do it because they like to avoid problems, others because they have attatchment issues.

Social drifters never seem to have the same friends for more than a year, nor do they stay within a stereotype for very long either. These people are often confused for a bottom feeder or social climber, but for the most part are nothing close to those. They simply drift in and out of people's lives so that for at least a while they can find friends, however temporary they might be.
Every year I see that kid with a different group of friends. He must be a social drifter, always changing his surroundings.

Saint Luke's Drifters

Nashville has been turning out the same ole crap for years. With the exception of a few new acts like The Zac Brown Band, and Saint Luke's Drifters. SLD is a high energy band with deep hillbilly roots and a punk twist. They have a groove that gets your feet moving. You get reminded of what music used to be before computers. This is real human created music that you can't ignore. These guys are going to be a turning point for Nashville, and it is about time.
