not only that.
The term bohemian has existed ever since the early 1700's. Though there are a variety of definitions to define what Bohemian and Bohemia are. A wide group believes that Bohemians are artists and musicians, scraping against society while producing art with a passion unparalleled. "Bordered on the North by hope, work and gaiety, on the South by necessity and courage; on the West and East by slander and the hospital." Another group believes that, as understood by the aformentioned quote, that Bohemians are the ones who are righteous and posess the ideas and ethics to produce a truly perfect society. However, another group still believes that Bohemians would not produce their own perfect society, but instead help the present society achieve greatness: "All the most talented and promising young people lived in it, those in their twenties who had not yet made their name but who were destined to eventually lead their nation."
I read a section on this in a practice SAT puaahha. It was boring to everyone else but me....but yes i guess in terms of fashion, Bohemian can be defined as hippi.
