Sex was better in the 1960s, said Marianne Faithfull.
The rock singer and counterculture icon attacked the current ‘hipster lite’ culture.
On the contrary, Mick Jagger’s ex-girlfriend praised the “old bohemian, when art was “more intense, purer” and “sex was also hotter.”
In an article in The Oldie magazine, the now 77-year-old said: “What the hell happened to bohemia?”
‘It took 100 years for talented poets, painters and slackers to create and only 20 years for clever pseudo-hipsters to ruin it all.
It is the curse of hollow tinsel bohemianism.

He said he missed the artist model Henrietta Moraes, who was the “epitome” of the bohemian life that no longer exists, as well as the painter Francis Bacon.
“It was really bad being a drug addict; it was a degrading experience, but apparently not degrading enough.
‘Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher explained to me that the problem with my life becoming the basis of a movie was that it wasn’t bad enough.
‘I thought I had degraded myself a lot, but apparently not. I guess I wasn’t thinking about the movie rights.
“Take me back to old Bohemia.”
