i think its some nod to the modern situation of people liking retro things, as a fad. stores like urban outfitters can charge 70$ for pants that come pre-ripped, hes "unretrofied" as taking a stand to not be "modernized" to follow the trend of retro.
the can half diseased/disease half canned could be about TV, a can, with the disease, or fads, being spread by the media
and the man half machine/machine half man could be about technology and how were trained to want that stuff.
the chorus sums everything up, people faking trends ands interests, time wasted repeating trends
