Bohemian?

What makes a person want to be bohemian? Is it the same thing that makes someone want to be a rock star? I personally feel like it's all about appearance. People don't actually want to live the lifestyle, they just want to appear as though they do. When bohemian culture became popular is when the disgusting act of sitting in a coffee shop talking about art instead of creating came about. It became "cool" to be poor. Or at least to say that you were while living off of daddy's money (not that that tradition died out, it still happens at Sweet Briar all the time). True bohemians did not want to be "bohemian". The first time I heard the word bohemian was in a Dandy Warhols song. It talked about vegan food and a car that always breaks down. It was an updated version of bohemian, since it is now trendy to be vegan, particularly if you're a "poor" college student who has to sleep on a couch. Still, it appealed to me. Partially because it sounded like my life, but also because the song glorified these things. No mention was made of creating art. Instead this girl waited tables. If this trend continues, the world will be full of nothing but people pretending to create art and the next generation will know NOTHING about this generation except that we were obviously lazy.
