I believe...

This song is more about government and the music industry in general than it is about any genre of music in particular.

It's about selling your soul to the beast then getting tossed away for the next big thing that sells. (commercial)

Deceiving the weak [minded?] (I pull weak from Leprosy because it corrodes muscle strength)

Oppression and fascism, freedom revoked

Vanity (flaunting their diamonds and riches to cover up their faults)

this is all i got for now, not claiming any of this is true, just my interpretation.
