FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO GETS THE REFERENCES. I've watched like every single reaction that's out and not a single person has noticed the references.
also for the record, bourgeoisies is like Afluenza 2.0. which was on his first album and is about the same type of thing but he said that alfuenza was how he felt at the time and that bourgeoisies is him making fun of his younger self and calling himself immature (in fact bourgeoisies is even grammatically incorrect, it should just be bourgeoisie, no s). so its not out of the blue and its also supposed to be incredibly ironic.

this was very fun to watch! I'm glad that conan wasn't afraid to experiment and just have fun with this one, even though he had the worst year ever last year while making it.
for context: he actually had his first relationship, for 6 months, very on and off with this person (as he said, it was very secretive) and after they broke up with him trough a text while he was on an airplane, flying to see them, he landed in london and it's actually where he wrote "alley rose" - originally, "abbey road" but that's obviously a Beatles' album so he changed it to "alley rose" - since he and his ex had their first kiss in an alleyway, rose = love. after that, he got EXTREMELY sick, he was sick for 6 months and eventually had to have his tonsils removed (and relearn how to sing). bestie went TROUGH it last year, jeeez.
as for his family background: i mean, you remember "family line" maybe. conan's dad was very abusive, his parents got divorced when he was 3, they had to move around a lot cuz his dad was in military, were very poor for most of the time + if we add that he was raised very religiously, we can paint a good picture of how his upbringing affected him (thanks god he goes to therapy, my boy literally has been depressed since childhood, as he said). so i definitely believe that "found heaven" is as much towards other queer kids as it is towards him as a teen.
just giving you context so you don't have to watch all of his zach sang interviews (but I do highly recommend checking out him on "therapussy", it was HELARIOUS to watch)

Loved this. My take away was less that he was referencing specific songs but more so the artists. Examples below that I thought of.
Found Heaven - Kate Bush
Fainted Love - a-ha
Alley Rose - Elton John
Miss You - Depeche Mode
Bourgeoisieses - Pet Shop Boys
Forever With Me - Queen
Eye Of The Night - Billy Joel
Boy & Girls - Duran Duran

i feel like sooo many people aren't gonna like this album on their first listen bc like u said it's highly referential which some may find unoriginal or try-hard even and start to develop bias, but i really hope it's a grower for them. it's so well-produced and a great tribute to the 80s and i believe conan poured his heart into this🥲. alley rose is my fav btw the production of it is so huge !!

Bourgeoisieses I can't remember the song that reminds me (as soon as I remember I will edit the comment) but the lyrics really gave me the vibes of Our House by Madness (mostly the way they describe their surroundings) but I swear as soon as I remember the song that reminds me of it I'll write it but it comes and goesssss like when I'm about to sleep I remember and then it goes away
TAINTED LOVE BY SOFT CELL IT'S TAINTED LOVE omg you even mentioned the song with fainted love but Bourgeoisieses reminds me of Tainted Love omgggggg thank god I can sleep now.

As a huge lover of arena rock, I saw the cover art and it intrigued me to check out it out. I got half way through listening to Fainted Love, before I decided I wanted to listen to the whole album. I love how familiar but new this whole album feels. I also love playing the game of trying to pick up all the references.
