I think that the meaning of this song could be seen in the title. "White teeth teens" is slightly self explanatory, meaning white teeth teens are somewhat "perfect" or "not original".
Besides the title, Lorde mentions that she tried to become a white teeth teen but she never did. And that the white teeth teens were a type of person that you are born as, not progressing over time.
Throughout the entire song, I think that Lorde gracefully moves through a story within each verse. The story is very powerful and relevant to the world today, and possibly any kind of teen could relate to this song.
