I think this song is a jab at a whole bunch of things in the media today. Reality tv would be one of them, as well as retro rock bands (like The Darkness, Jet, etc.). I also think it's a jab at VH1 nostalgia shows (I love the '80s, '70s, etc) and it's saying that we're spending too much time in the past, and not inventing anything new for the present.
