Without knowing the context, it could refer to a popular term that came from the alernative culture of the sixties. Originating in the film "the Graduate" came the term "plastic" and the counter culture extrapolated the term to refer to anything "phony" (which was made popular in Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's"). The baby boomers, raised in an unusual post war time of both strictness and abundance were on the one hand fed up with the "establishment", scared of "The Bomb" and nuclear annhilation, and indulged enough to feel empowered to rethink and recreate alternative ways of wage earning and lifestyles. They were fed up with "phonys" (also see J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye) and wanted to be real, and be with real people. Nowadays they would call that "authentic" selves and others. And is still part of Psychology and therapy, with regards to self improvement, personal growth, etc.
