How old are the Millennials?

How old are the characters supposed to be? I was born in 1989 and cassettes, answering machines, atlases, and fat butt TVs were definitely part of my childhood. Are they being written too young?

I am 23 and it was part of my childhood too :D Characters in sitcoms are always drawn way to exaggerated. For example, Jack and the other old dudes don't have any idea about social media. But meanwhile in real life, that internet revolution drawn thourgh all societal layers. Hell even my grandma has facebook😅 Don't take that jokes too seriously.

Yeah I know they exaggerate in sitcoms, but it kind of makes the characters, both young and old, unrelatable.

The actors ages range from 27 to 31 but I think they are supposed to be younger, 23-25 range.

A few years ago I showed my kids a rotary-dial phone at my mom's house and they could hardly understand how it worked. Note that you could not place a call with it anymore but it would still receive them.

According to web research Millennials are people reached adulthood after new millennium, so 34 or younger. So people born after 1982 until they come up with a name to call even newer generations.
