Here's a journal article for inquiring minds...researcher's definition:

"In the literature, hook-up culture is defined as casual sexual
contact between nondating partners without an (expressed
or acknowledged) expectation of forming a committed
relationship (Armstrong et al. 2009; Bogle 2008; Flack et
al. 2006; Garcia and Reiber 2008; Paul et al. 2000; Paul
2006). The typical hook up occurs at a party (Bogle 2007a)."
