Modern society has always been divided into two fractions. There has been the world and there has been bohemia. It is in bohemia that people of the world go to dream. Bohemian has always been referenced as the alternative lifestyle. In Europe, it was the artists, writers, musicians and actors that clung to this title. As such, the concept of alcoholism, drug-use and caffeine have always been prized. These are the gears that keep the machine running for these people. Political points? Always contrast that of the traditional. Sexual points? Always contrast that of traditional. Bohemians were the first lift-wingers. It was these gypsy that knew how important it was just to breathe. Today's bohemian wears piercing and tattoosÂ… it is these people that live on the edge. It is these people that are mass-marketed as the bohemian lifestyle. Take for example Suicide Girls. Their news? Always left-wing to the fullest. They are liberals. The pin-ups? They must have attitude as much as they have the look. This also feeds into other high-fashion magazines. All of the Tattoo magazines demonstrate the same. They are selling what has been sold to the world since the industrial age. It is the world where they work. It is in bohemia that they dream. People that elect the alternative lifestyle still carry the bohemian spirit. They have unorthodox opinions. They are antiestablishment. Uniforms may have changed but it remains the two fractions. Difference, however, has been marketing. A vast portion of people barring tattoos and piercings today have been sold the idea. Shows such as Miami Ink has now brought ink into the home. Traditional culture is now buying. It is not usual to be in a kicker, cowboy hat club and see Wranglers with tattoos. I am curious what the next leap will be to build a wall, again, between the two fractions. Mentally, the wall will forever be there. It is that liberal spirit and that's the bohemian way.
