I think this captures the irony in the youngsters' use of the word "adulting". It's a role and only a role. You sometimes *play* the role and you sometimes don't. It's like clothing you put on and take off ... much like an avatar in a video game.
I think it's an authentic attempt to be just a tad more honest about who we are and our self-image, which is why I mentioned impostor syndrome. And it goes hand-in-hand, I think, with LGBT rights and the fluidity of gender roles. I was intrigued when some celebrity (Aubrey Plaza maybe?) came out as *queer*, not gay. It seems to be an interesting stance wherein the person denies the (artificial) discretization of gender or sexual preference.
