This is song is about the battle between Twee and punk/hardcore (hence Tweexcore). The female vocals are punk/hardcore and male Twee. It's mostly shown when the female vocals mention punk icons, and Male Twee icons. But its also shown in the second verse, "Getting the laptop fixed by a professional doesn't make me a pawn" is a reference to the DIY culture of Punk. Then the line "Ooh, this city is run by fucking pigs, and though you say you're my friend, you're not, you're one of them." Is reference to the idea of the punk rock scene being weary of twee for being catchy and poppy.
LC! has some of the greatest lyrics of any band today. full of allusions, metaphors and tongue in cheek quips about indie culture.
No the female are the punk and the male are the twee as the male lines go "I never cared about Henry Rollins" saying he doesn't care about black Flag. same with the female line, even though the male line makes a punk reference and the female the twee reference they are saying they dont care about the other.

actually the male vocals have all the punk references, and the female vocalist makes all the twee ones.
