Fandom as Bohemians? Now that's an interesting (and sense-making) thought.
Myself, I've considered fandom to be something done in the spirit of punk ("punk" as in punk rock, not as in cyberpunk) - we take the products of consumer culture (commercially produced entertainment such as anime/manga, TV shows, movies), and we you cut them up and put them together again, making them into art (or "just" into really fun porn) of our own.
