From my understanding, Macklemore is making a rather poignant mockery of pop culture for placing so much value on partying. He does this by mostly by making fun of the dramatic styles some artists often try using to convey the importance on those nights of partying.
The seemingly epic sound of the repeated piano chords is revealed to be quite insincere when overlaid with silly lyrics such as "..and had a really really really good time" and the melodramatic "DJ save my life, come on, leave your fear, back off the wall"
Furthermore, the satirical disrespect towards his neighbors goes hand in hand with the line, "quit cock blocking", a common saying in our generation that can reflect on our misplaced values of getting laid and having meaningless sex.
The next lines delve even further into pop-music's social issues gender when Macklmore refers to a girl as a 'pussy' when stating, "If you don't have a pussy, pop a cock into a booty". Clearly, Macklemore makes another critique of the misogynistic emphasis pop music sometimes puts on the importance of sex and the treatment of gender.
There are more notable lines throughout the song, but these were the ones that I immediately noticed on my first listen.

And I want too add that ts important to note that in the video the person singing is not Macklemore, he's playing a character.

Macklemore himself only shows up as the neighbor to complain.
