The unbearable lightness of being bad and boujee

Early today, I was listening to one of my personal favorite songs, bad and boujee by the rap trio, migos. The song describes how one of the rappers "women" are "bad and boujee". I thought to myself, Tomas is a "bad" character and Tereza is more of a "boujee" character. Tomas is "bad" because he enjoys a life that does not require him to attach meaning to anything, specifically woman. Tomas does not let any of his relationships with woman go further than a physical attraction, thus he is "bad". To be boujee, one has a "need for luxury and materialistic items"; Tereza is not necessarily in need of gaudy things; however, one who has a need for materialistic things has attached some sort of meaning to these materials. Tereza prefers to attach meaning to aspects of her life; henceforth, Tereza is to some extent "boujee".
