Your Definition

The phase affected by the quarterlife crisis, or the lapse of time -- ranging from a few years to over a decade -- where a twenty-something experiences the transitioning stage between late adolescence and young adulthood (approximately ages 17-23) and full-fledged adulthood.   Twixterhood, a neologism combining "Twixter," a term coined by a writer at TIME magazine, to the suffix "hood," suggests an adulthood characterized by financial, emotional, and/or personal immaturity, a refusal to "grow up," a desire to hold onto or maintain the glory years of college partying or casual relationships, or the preference of traveling, exploring, learning, and taking on part-time or temporary forms of employment instead of committing to full-time, permanent positions.   Both a positive and negative experience for twenty-somethings, and even thirty-somethings, the average length of Twixterhood has lengthened since the maturing years of Generation X-ers: members of Generation Y, and the generations after Y, are prone to drawing out this stage, particularly by moving back in or residing permanently with their parents.
