Plural of bohemian; people who live unconventional lives, typically artists or intellectuals who reject mainstream society and its values.
From Bohemia (the historical region in central Europe) or the Romani people believed to originate there, plus the standard -s plural. The term became widely used after the Romantic movement.
The Beat poets, hippies, and punk rockers all thought they invented being bohemian, but they were all following a script written in 1830s Paris by artists living in Montmartre who couldn't afford regular rent.
