I don't think you can really judge what type of book it is by the references, which in this book were pretty basic anyway. These weren't real "deep cut" references and I'm guessing the author kept it that way to not edge out younger readers. "Ready Player One" is considered YA by most and it went WAY deeper with the nostalgia and references. Even as a child of the 80s I had to look some of them up, mostly the stuff dealing with pen-and-paper RPGs and Anime as those have never been in my wheelhouse. Pretty much everything about this book screamed YA to me, maybe a little on the racy side of YA but YA all the same.
