Light music refers to a popular music form between classical music and pop music. Light music can create a warm and romantic mood with a casual nature, so it is also called "mood music".

New Age music is named New Age because the people who advocate the use of music to purify the soul originate from a heretical religious sect called the New Age movement.

So I personally think that the biggest difference between the two is that New Age music has strong religious characteristics, so some so-called New Age music in China only imitates its style, but does not have profound connotations. .
