      somebody who leads an alternative lifestyle, they are not [hippies] because they can have an extremly wide range of different tastes in music, fashion, art, literature etc they are usually very creative people. they are above all optimists, even if they can be very cynical too(it does make sense...sort of). they like wearing a mixture of wierd clothes and mix different fashions together just for the heck of it. they like weed. genrally very laid back and relaxed.

          Movement of artist and poets in late 19th century France, especially in Paris. Bohemians believed in living outside of the bourgeois (conventional, middle class) mainstream culture. Bohemians were against the Salon (the institution that controlled the literary and art market in France until the turn of the 20th century)and believed that art and literature should be radical. They often gathered in cafes and drank absinthe. Many Bohemians were politically radical, being either anarchists or members of the Commune de Paris during the Franco-Prussian war. The Bohemian movement died out at the turn of the century but had a large influence on later movements such as surrealism, the beat generation, and punk rock.

            noun.
            An individual looked upon in society as strange and different. Imagination controls a Bohemians life, alot of the time destroying them in the process.
            Bohemians care very little for money and (some) stay secluded spending their lives creating art, music and literature.
            Without Bohemians, the world would be a complete bore.

              This term is incorrectly said to refer to a person who leads their life without regard to conventional standards of behaviour because that is how Gypsies lived and it was believed that Gypsies originally hailed from Bohemia, part of what is modern-day Czech Republic. Gypsies actually emigrated from northern Indian so it should also be noted that the term Gypsy which is derived from Egyptian is also incorrect although it is more widely accepted. The most etymologically correct term would be Romani or Romany which is the Gypsies original word for themselves.

                A person from the Kingdom of Bohemia...
                The Kingdom of Bohemia was established september 26 1212.
                the lands that were once known as Bohemia are now known as the Czech Republic.
                the bohemians that were the different artists/poets of 19th century france were simply called that because the french in thier infinite ignorance assumed that gypsy people came from the Kingdom of Bohemia... not even true anyway.

                  Bohemians live in alternative spaces, these are places that are not normally considered suitable for living in. They dont make wealth their priority. Money is only a means of survival, so they can live for their arts/craft/music/literature...etc

                    A vague term used to refer to people who live some sort of alternative, often artistic lifestyle. The term is associated - although not exactly synonymous - with the term [hippie]. The term originally came to be used in this sense in 19th century France, in an attempt to liken non-conventional artist types to [Romani] ([gypsies]), who the French associated with Bohemia in Central Europe (today part of the Czech Republic).

                      A pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, hipster who smokes pot but still listens to classical music and wears a turtleneck. They pretend to be artists or writers, but have greater ability for sitting in coffee shops all day writing their vanity project on the laptop their daddy bought for them while the unemployment benefits roll in.
