'New Age' defines a constellation of beliefs derived from Eastern Mysticism (particularly Hinduism and Buddhism), Victorian Spiritualism and psychic research. It experienced a revival beginning in the late 1960s and 1970s and became extremely stylish in the 1980s. Expect lots of crystal power, psychic dolphins, Atlantis, pyramids, good vibes, reincarnation, quantum consciousness and, above all, the Age of Aquarius, the funkiest, highest-vibration-in-the-spectrum Age of them all! Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Enemy of all that is bogus, mechanoid or square, friend to the chilled-out and open minded. Rarely depicted without tongue firmly in cheek in actual Aquarian Age media. Also the name for a kind of music. Very calm, peaceful, and deep, man. It often features a mix of electronic Ambient with nature sounds, World Music instruments and occasional vocals, often singing in a language other than English. "New Age Music" is more of a marketing term than any real connection to beliefs, however. Most "new age" artists just play what music they like, and some are even angry about the term. It's kind of The Theme Park Version of space music (much more under Music, below). See also New-Age Retro Hippie, Granola Girl, and the useful notes page. |

The album Songs of the Humpback Whale, which contains nothing but the sounds of singing whales has been very popular soundtrack music to New Age fans and spawned a whole series of albums mixing sounds of nature with relaxing music. | |

BioShock Infinite starts drifting into this a bit in the later parts of the game, with Quantum Mechanics Can Do Anything as a major theme and increasingly trippy visuals, despite actually taking place in The Gilded Age. This mixing of time periods and realities thanks to quantum physics is foreshadowed early in the game, when you hear anachronistic '60s/'70s era songs from artists like The Beach Boys being performed by an old-timey barbershop quartet. | |

Genesis of Aquarion. Also most of the more fantastic mechs from the Super Robot Wars mythos, most notably Cybuster & family, though in this case the New Age ethos of the plot is much more restrained. |

The horrible mangling of quantum physics that is What the #$*! Do We Know!?. Basically a two-hour commercial for J.Z. Knight's Ramtha cult, which lured many people in show business.note Director Mark Vicente later co-founded right-wing news outlet The Knife Media, associated with the NXIVM cult. | |

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders is an unusual case. Although the game in its final form does poke a great deal of fun at New Age culture in general, designer David Fox originally intended the game to be much more serious in tone - in a brainstorming session, Ron Gilbert convinced him to go for the wackier atmosphere. | |

According to authors like Barbara Marciniak and Barbara Hand Clow, the stories from The Bible, based on Mesopotamian Mythology, are the work of reptilians, who have taken on the guise of deities from different pantheons throughout history to teach and trick humanity. | |

Appears in The Innsmouth Legacy. Aeonism is a real and venerable in-universe religion and not New Age at all, but the "Aeonist" cult the main character has to deal with in San Francisco is very much in this vein. Two of the members end up dead because they thought walking into the ocean and not coming up for air would make them immortal. | |

The original Doctor Strange comics were highly popular and influential amongst early New Agers for their heavy spiritualism and funky visuals. There is a great deal of Irony to this, as Steve Ditko was about as far away from New Age as you can get. That didn't prevent him mining old Theosophical texts for ideas, though. | |

Full Body Massage: Fitch the professional masseuse is a big believer in New Age nonsense. He blathers on about how Western medicine is just a different form of religion, and that he has seen the Hopi cure with "crystals and a touch". He stages crystals around Alice, he also uses magnets, and he drapes her in colored towels because apparently the colors of the towels have some sort of specific influence. | |

Beyond the Black Rainbow is a Deconstruction/Take That!, mapping New Age beliefs and aesthetics onto a Cosmic Horror Story in which trying to reach enlightenment through hallucinogens and pseudoscience ends in failure and crippling drug addiction at best, Body Horror and Mind Rape at worst as you steadily Go Mad from the Revelation. | |
