No, I think it's to point out our indifference to violence. In the video, there is violence in the background, and right in front of us, but the kids keep dancing. "Death" (Blacked robed guy on the white horse) is coming from the Police, but the kids keep dancing. People are dying, but people just record it, and the kids keep dancing. That's my basic take on it anyway.

"Mumble Rap" - LOL! Bang-on...
And yes that's a really interesting way to look at it too.
Anyway, it turns out there is still alot more going on in this video. Read this if interested:
