hmm no one has said it but i don't think this song is really even self deprecating, to me it seems like it is really about kids repeating what a friend of a friend or someone they barely know told them as tho it were some sort of rock gospel. How many times have you heard the same dribble about some bands from people who really have no business at that bands show cuz they don't see anything except one hit song the band had. Its like when kid A) says a band sucks if he's cool enough kids B-Z just fucking agree and repeat his bullshit even if they've never seen them play
Great insights! I'd agree with you but like to add that I just discovered an alternate lyrics version where the chorus line, instead of being "all the kids..." is more like "something in my mind won't let me heart and head and mouth connect it. Something in my mind won't let my heart out of the darkness, yet. It's not over, I'm not sober anymore".

You got it, that's exactly how I saw it....it's about how dependent the music scene is on the fickle and merciless "kids" and it feels sort of bitter about it. Love it.
