artists

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bohemian types' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'dire straits?' is the wordplay.
'dire' indicates anagramming the letters.
'straits' with letters rearranged gives 'ARTISTS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for artists that I've seen before include "Monet and Manet, for example" , "creative types may find themselves" , "Painters" , "Creative people" , "music performers?" .)
