Distractivist : (n.) an activist with a savior complex who invents a false narrative to create a platform to put himself or herself into the spotlight in order to gain control or power and who has no desire at all to serve the people he or she claims to represent.

A bond formed between two people that is beneath a relationship or a situationship for the sole purpose of distracting oneself or selves from another relationship or situationship. This may be done consciously or subconsciously. Additionally, one person may see the bond as more of a relationship/situationship whereas the other person may truly see it for what it is.
A relationship is your boyfriend/girlfriend. A situationship is the sticky mess you find yourself in with a person who avoids commitment. And distractionship(s) are all the random people on your snap that you flirt with to make yourself feel better about said relationship or situationships.
A romantic relationship, often short in nature, engaged in by one or both parties as a means of distracting one from ones own life content be that the positive or negative aspects, for example their goals, or success, or issues, or problems, or projects etc.
As a distraction to the individuals personal life, it is often short lived and half-arsed, lacking the drive and attention needed to sustain a meaningful relationship.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
