This song came out after NOFX released 'Kill Rock Stars' on 'So long and thanks for all the shoes' so i think this song is partly a response to that and myabe all the other typical punk bands around, not just NOFX.
As someone mentioned above, Kathleen is pointing out the differences between their objectives maybe. Hence the title 'The punk singer' as she is subtley pointing out how typical Fat Mike is of a punk singer in a band.
If you read the lyrics to 'Kill Rock Stars' by NOFX it makes sense. Also, you can see a difference in their style of writing lyrics as Kathleen is a lot more subtle in her response to the song whereas Fat Mike resorts to cheap insults.
Actually 'Deceptacon' is largely regarded as her response song, right? "Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor/I'll walk on it/I'll walk all over you" is pretty much an explicit reference to 'Linoleum' by NOFX.

I thought Bikini Kill were pretty tight with NoFx. When did this feud start?
