The Age of Octeen is the second studio album by American emo band Braid, released September 7, 1996 on Mud Records.
Released a year after their debut album, Frankie Welfare Boy Age 5, the album is notably 25 minutes shorter and features half as many songs. However, The Age of Octeen made up for this by showcasing greatly improved production quality, and songs are on average three-to-four minutes long, almost twice as long as those featured on Frankie Welfare Boy Age 5.
Songs from the album were included in the Braid compilation album Movie Music, Vol. 2.
