Of course, the real point of YA is that the publishers think that a particular book might appeal to a particular groups of people. I suppose that if there was a market for it, some publisher would start marketing books for OF (old farts) where one of the main characteristics was the book focused on how much better things were back in the day. Of course, then people would complain because their "back in the day" isn't the same as someone else's "back in the the day".
An individual book really can have different target audiences.
