Dave V was known for his ardent witticism in the lyric department, but he is also known for his level of self-deprecation.
I think the title alone shows the humorous side of how, yes, in fact this song was a bit of a scoff at bands like Racetraitor (if not specifically them, although not entirely) it also simply mocked the notion of a lot of heavy music, such as hardcore. Bands like 108, the Hari Krishna hardcore noise.
A lot of hardcore bands, early coalesce, were very preachy and this song was a little jab at the idea of preaching all these ideologies with stale music.
Botch always managed to expand their sound. Hardcore never sounded, nor ever will, sound like Botch (ignoring a lot of their first material which was nothing special - granted I love it).
You can also clearly see its a bit of a jab at themselves, you have to have a good sense of humor to be in a band where you yell like a big angry toddler.
I think the title was more a play on the idea of image-driven consciousness.
In the end, its your fault, for fucking up the kids.
