Bohemians are individuals who lead an unconventional lifestyle, often associated with artistic and intellectual pursuits. They typically prioritize creativity, freedom, and self-expression over material wealth and societal norms. This lifestyle is often linked to the artistic communities in cities like Paris during the 19th century, where artists, writers, and musicians gathered. The term "bohemian" originally referred to the Romani people, who were mistakenly thought to have come from Bohemia, a region in the modern-day Czech Republic. Over time, it evolved to describe a lifestyle that embraces nonconformity and a rejection of traditional values, often celebrating individuality and a sense of community among like-minded people.
