I've done some searching but still can't fully understand this sentence. Can somebody explain to me?

A cut is slang for a song, as in a cut off an album. A deep cut is a lesser-known song, one that devoted fans may be familiar with, but average fans might not. In the photo, the dude on the left is dressed up as Will Smith, in a costume seen in an episode of Fresh Prince of Bellaire. Here is a seen from that episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adwT8ZY-XHM.
Something can be 'very mediocre', 'completely mediocre', etc.
If it's 'extremely mediocre' though, you're crossing the line into parody. It can be used as a humorous hyperbole, the same as "fantastically bland" or "Totally averagest of them all". It makes for a very poor expression in serious contexts though.
From this article by Nathaniel Rich at nybooks.com (2011):
Embedded in these lines were code phrases designed to appeal to young men with certain countercultural tendencies. “Insane boys,” for instance, meant “boys who like doing drugs.” “Ben Frank’s” was an all-night diner on the Sunset Strip where musicians would hang out after the clubs had closed and wait for the drugs to wear off. “Have courage to work” meant “Have courage to abstain from drugs while we film the series.” Finally, “Must come down for interview” was not instructing applicants to appear in person; it meant “When you come for the interview, try not to be on drugs.”
