It's hyperbole, sure it's a bit silly but as Matious pointed out these are teenagers. Teenagers are a bit silly.

Is anyone actually complaining about whether he's serious or not? I know I haven't. I just find the lyrics repetitive and blah. There's nothing there to hold my interest. That might not be a problem if the rapping or music were better, but they aren't.

Like with the lyrics, I just find the production boring. I don't hear a lot variety from song to song and it's doesn't feel like much effort went into making good music. It just sounds they started rapping over the first thing they came up with.
