Until someone is (temporarily) deceived by the pop song titles, I don't think either one is sufficiently flexible. His method of hiding is merely an example of his paranoia.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Agree with crazysamaritan that it's not a strong example, but if I had to call it something, I would go with invoked Infraction Distraction. He's setting up a situation where if someone were to find it, he can claim he's embarrassed but nostalgic about his Pop music phase.
The protagonist of Mr. Robot is a disaffected loner hacker who doesn't really engage in popular culture. He starts the series hacking into the personal accounts of others in his life largely because he's lonely, and sometimes so he can get an edge on someone. When he finishes hacking someone, he saves the evidence of what he did to an optical disk, labels the disk with a pop song name, then puts the CD into a binder with several other similarly-labeled disks and hides the binder under a dresser. It's clear that he uses this method of hiding the evidence as a distraction, the way other characters would use a Porn Stash as an Infraction Distraction, because both the apparent content and the means of storage (burned CDs like it's the 90s) would be so off-brand for him it'd immediately throw people off. Only problem is, having a secret collection of pop CDs isn't really scandalous for anyone who isn't like him.
So which would be flexible enough for a case like this- Porn Stash, or Infraction Distraction?
