Censorship comes to my mind but the other theories above are really good as well

My Interpretation

@guertin11 I agree with this interpretation. When I was 14 years old I showed my dad the lyrics to this song because i didn't understand them, and he had the same opinion. I think the anti-synthesizer idea is interesting but TH liked synthesizers and cybernetics, so there's that. I would connect it to how any art form, like rock and roll, starts out being rebellious and fun, and there seems to be no rules. eventually, the art form must conform to social rules.
