what exactly is electricity

I watched a ted-ed (https://youtu.be/8EUy_82IChY#t=369), and the guy said “nobody knows what it is” so is it true? Do we not know what electricity is?

It is the movement of electrons along the outer shell of atoms from a high concentration to a low concentration. So, if you have a lot of electrons in one area with more being created, they’re going to want to push their way along the atoms in a wire to areas where there are less electrons. Like water flowing downstream or through pipes from a high pressure to a low pressure area.
