The Age of Plastic is the first album by synthpop/New Wave group The Buggles, which consisted of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, released on Island Records on 4 February 1980. The album is a concept album, with themes of intense nostalgia and anxiety about the possible effects of modern technology. It followed the success of their first single, "Video Killed the Radio Star", which had reached No. 1 in the UK singles chart in 1979. Three subsequent singles, "Living in the Plastic Age", "Clean Clean" and "Elstree" were released from the album, but met with considerably less success.

Famous quotes containing the word age:
“see the shaky future grow familiar
in the pinched, indigenous faces
of these thoroughbred mental cases,
twice my age and half my weight.
We are all old-timers,
each of us holds a locked razor.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
