The term bohemian, of French origin, was first used in the English language in the nineteenth century. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through non-marital sexual relations and frugality. The term 'Bohemian' has come to be very commonly accepted in our day as the description of a certain kind of literary gypsy, no matter in what language he speaks, or what city he inhabits. Bohemian lifestyle is something that has transcended into literature, plays and film. According to myself, I feel this is something very underrated and should RISE RISE RISE into the city culture, and invade the streets of today.
.... A Bohemian is simply an artist who, consciously or unconsciously, secedes from conventionality in life and in art.
Apparently there are five types of bohemian one could be, which are:- Nouveau, bohemians with money who attempt to join traditional bohemianism with contemporary culture
- Gypsy, drifters, neo-hippies, and others with nostalgia for previous, romanticized eras
- Beat, also drifters, but non-materialist and art-focused
- Zen, "post-beat," focus on spirituality rather than art
- Dandy, no money, but try to appear as if they have it by expensive or rare items - such as alcohol
