What exactly is "New Age"?

What exactly is "New Age"? And what are "New Agers"?

I've been wondering about this a bit recently, and I am having trouble separating New Agers from what the Hippies were doing in the 60s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age versus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippy

To tell the truth, I am still not entirely clear on the subject. It seems to me, as if New Agers were a subgroup of Hippies and that the groups of New Agers and Hippies still overlap in many areas, especially as far as religion, mysticism, magic and so on are concerned.

Can anybody shed a bit of light on this one?
