Lack of interest in the material issues and interest in the cultural and intellectual

The Bohemian will then become a person which philosophizing, intellectualizing instead of going out shopping may be reassured. It will surrender to a book, a play plastic or theatre and not move you a single hair everything that is associated to the media and no content.

And this is so because for the Bohemian questions having to do with the spirit, with deeper things, and who are more important than following fashion or trend of the moment.
The term also allows us to make reference to the Bohemian in general, as the community of people who decide to live in the way that we mentioned above: free, in permanent nonconformity, surrounded by cultural and artistic issues and very, very far from everything that I suppose or have an attractive material. Usually, this community of people usually meet to try and share their motivations in places specially designated for this purpose and that meet certain cultural characteristics, for example, art centres or bars that have a proven track record in art and culture and that's why, by the Bohemian mystique that transpire, result be ideal at the time of the meeting of Bohemians.
