Current in a wire flows opposite to the direction of flow of electrons, what exactly is current then, if there is nothing actually flowing?

I know that flow of electrons is not current, it is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons, is it just a convention? why such a convention was chosen if it is one. . Please correct me if you think i have very wrong assumptions.
