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. Urban Dictionary

The practice of an unconventional way of living. People who practice bohemianism (bohemians) often form groups that share similar opinions and mindsets. In the classical sense bohemianism was often about music, art or literary pursuits. However, the modern sense of the word includes those who break societal rules. People classified as bohemians today are often not true bohemians, rather they are people who enjoy risque behaviours and a loose lifestyle that often includes illegal drugs, excessive alcohol and unprotected sex. Urban Dictionary

Noun. An individual looked upon in society as strange and different. Imagination controls a Bohemian's 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. Urban Dictionary
