I agree with a lot of the comments and the song definitely toys with a few different themes.
The one thing that stood out for me was how ironic the song is. I would say this song/group definitely falls into the Electropop genre along with bands like MGMT and Foster the People. I bring this up because it points to the fact that these guys are probably using a drum machine and other computer-generated beats/sounds.
They're definitely aware of this fact which gives the song a bit more depth. I don't know, I think if you boil this song down it's a guy talking about a shift in musical interest and how he (while lamenting the fact) is moving with the industry and his fans; because, after all, we're all still rockers at heart (sex, drugs and rock-n-roll).
And of course there is a definite reference to the song "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. A song that shared many of the same themes this song seems to forward, but of a different time-period.
