I get that Seth MacFarlane had his youth in the '80s (well, sort of, he was 7-17, so probably not even the fun years of being in your early 20s), but most of the writers are millennials and even zoomers. The target audience is not and never has been gen X or boomers. It's always been teenage and young men. Why is Family Guy so obsessed with the 1980s?

Pray tell, who the fuck was watching Family Guy from '99 to '02?

Oh ok you consider people born in the early 80s millennials. I associate them with 90s babies.

if you were born in 85 you were 14 (aka a teenager) in 1999. that's not early 80s and that's definitionally a millennial.
