Although the bohemian population was diverse, one particular aspect of how they lived served as a unifying factor: the rejection of bourgeois values. The values they typically rejected and how are as follows:
They rejected private property and materialism by having no permanent residence anywhere and by surviving on little material wealth.
They rejected strict moral values by living carefree lives of alcohol and drug use, as well as open sexual freedom.
They rejected the pursuit of wealth by living solely for art and literature's sake, pursuing their passions regardless of whether they gained an income, which they usually did not.
it has exist through vary times of history by differnet and varied groups, the hippie movement of the 60 and 70's is one example.

Bohemian refers to a person who disregards social conventionalities or evinces a wild or roving disposition. From this meaning it would mean that Bohemian Life would refer to a person who is so outgoing that do things or actions that are outside the norms and conduct of the locality where the it lives.

Largely a silly affectation and a clever, manipulative tactic to inure someone or a group of people to a particular mode of living. If you can call it that. Do this; where it says ' search the web ' type in the word ' define ' then the word you want.

lets call it freedom to share with others instead
of hang ups ...you hand out ..together in a state of
art...as you wait for occasions and prepare for the event..
being you have to fuss about this or that...
having to keep up with the Jones
they whom never dress for an occasion being unique''
as in the ARTS....people whom chosen to become
classical and sculptured a metropolitan on their own
....yes paying RENT...AND THRIFTY...for the better
too busy living in a fraternal order...BEING I trust...
way past the inelegance...on just living the reality
of ORDINARY...LIFE...AS COLOR FULL AND INTRIGUING
...NOW THIS you are meant too be BORN ..too experience
the meaning of the Phosphorescent..they chosen
a humanitarian planet...beyond DREAM
A SOCIETY OF CULTURE...
