A joke about new age and pagan (music and other things) is:
 
Q: What’s the difference between new age and pagan?
A: About $500 a weekend.
 
That is, it’s essentially the same stuff, but “new age” means more expensive.

Heh, I’m a committed Pagan, and most of *us* think that New Agers are vapid and silly. Leads to the old joke:

Way _I_ heard it was: What’s the difference between a Pagan and a New Ager? A decimal point. A New Ager will give you for $300 what you could go to the Wiccans to get for $30. (Heard from a Neo-Pagan Bard friend of mine)

What’s the difference between pagan and New Age? (thing)

About $500 a weekend.
 
This joke is a commentary on the fact that New Age often means consume your way to enlightenment. Rather than sitting down and doing hard thinking and deep philosophizing, along with a dose of scholarly work to find your way (this applies to both Pagan and non-Pagan paths), just buy these trinkets, and it’ll all be ok…

I think I have a good answer for the difference between New Age and #Pagan, finally. If you can make money doing it, it’s New Age.
