Take every Brooklyn hipster or the cast of say, Girls, and the whole thing is essentially a parody of them/the hipster culture.
aka Hipsters will tell people all about how unique or ironic they are by listening to indie music or oldies they've re-discovered and claimed as 'cool'. The line, 'My boyfriend's pretty cool... But he's not as cool as me', is quentissential hipster talk.
Same with 'if you dont like it then forget it.' Clearly youre not worth the explanation & said hipster is too cool for you.
I tend to think that Lana is aware she fits with the 'hipster' culture, but I don't think she's stupid. For that reason, i don't see the lyrics as an intent to be literal. At all.
I actually believe this song is satire.
