This student mentioned intertextual references as an obstacle to reading Mark Fisher's article.
Alika
According to Fisher, Kurt Cobain had nowhere left to 'go' in his music, limited by capital's desires for endless imitations of meaningless messages. This type of music, on other hand, wasn't so concerned (and, financially-speaking, still prevails, to this day).
Pop
This student's forum post discussed the difference between "we" and the narrator
