Frankie Welfare Boy Age 5 is the debut studio album by American emo band Braid, released in 1995 on Divot Records.
Stylistically sporadic and abrasive, Frankie Welfare Boy Age 5 features 26 tracks, each one beginning with a different letter of the alphabet arranged in a random order. The songs are short and mostly range from one to three minutes, with the longest song "Hugs from Boys" peaking at four minutes and six seconds.
