Rock and pop, right?
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Maybe the "and" should have been an "or"? I'm sure there's a style guide note for that sort of sentence.

Yes, I think it should have been an "or".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Question: If you're a 16-year-old right now, who would you think is the heir to Nirvana's sound?

Right now, I can't think of anybody. You could've said Rage Against the Machine at one point, or maybe Green Day but once American Idiot became a stage show that's right out.
But "right now" isn't exactly the operative concept for the way teens consume music anyway. They range pretty widely through iTunes and pull music off YouTube so they have a very ahistorical approach to music.
I'm inclined to say they'd be into Nirvana's first pre-hit album Bleach.
