Bohemianism is a lifestyle and cultural movement that emphasizes artistic expression, individuality, and a rejection of conventional norms. It often involves a focus on creativity, free-spirited living, and a disregard for materialism. Bohemians typically embrace alternative lifestyles, valuing experiences over possessions. Historically, the term originated in the 19th century, associated with artists, writers, and musicians who lived in a nonconformist manner. Notable figures include Henri Murger, whose work inspired the opera La Bohème, and Oscar Wilde, known for his flamboyant style and wit. Bohemianism continues to influence modern art and culture.
