What is New Age?
1.
1. What many hippies of the 60s and 70s turned into in the 80s and 90s with the best intentions, except without drugs or any attempt to change the world. They almost all live in the Southwest, are obsessed with Egypt, India, or someplace else that's exotic, they mix the worst parts of all Eastern and Pagan Religions and say "I'm spiritual, not religious." Almost all are sold out baby boomer women that are not quite fat, have orange hair, and have overbites. They would probably say to this definition, in their draining whisper, "I'm picking up on a lot of hostility here. Can I do Reiki on you?"
2. The music they play while meditating on why Native Americans and Asians don't all love them even though they have the respect to drain their traditions.
I had a vision from the Spirit I was at the Pyramids and suddenly Isis blanketed me inside a blanket of warm healing energy. You know what that means, I was Nefertiti in a past life. Oh, and these Tibetan monks were giving me prayer flags. And there was some Enya song in the background."

Pronounced to rhyme with "sewage", "New Age" is a term used to refer to the spiritual practices of a sizable fraction of the populations of California and New Mexico.
Dude! I like _so_ totally can't attend that anti-capitalist rally in Berkeley until I've like totally balanced the energy flow in my loft, polished my mood crystals, and had my $15 thimbleful of
Kopi Luwak .

4.
An age when people who have had the marvelous blessings of living in a Judeo-Christian tradition, a free education, free libraries, and access to information, reject everything they have learned, and all of their common sense. They adopt the customs of people who live with cobras in the road, and pretend to believe in reincarnation. This leads to such preposterous principles as "meat is murder."
Who were you in your previous life, Rebekah?
Previous life?!! What do you think I am, a Hindu? A snake charmer? An ass-trologer? A New Age Yuppie? Come on, Rosemary, gimme a break!
New Age Yuppie: Don't take part in the rodeo! Meat is murder!
Cowboy: Get outta my way, you brainless New Age twerp! That steer sure as hell ain't MY grandpa!

people who most times are very spiritual, however not religious. Being New Age entails very harmonious ideas and the belief everyone should live in coexistence. New Age is somewhat of a term for a modern day hippy, but New Age people aren't stereotyped as druggies at all.
Person1: See that girl over their preaching about being spiritual and happy?
Person2: Yeah man, she is totally New Age.
