Quite a lot of people seem to be missing the point of this song. Girls Aloud aren't attacking the entire scene, but certain people in it, like Doherty, Moss, The Kooks and other critics who look down on them, saying that indie is "real music" and Girls Aloud are fake. If anything, a lot of indie these days is faker than pop music, and I'd much rather listen to Girls Aloud than uninspired pap by the likes of The Kooks, The Pigeon Detectives and The Wombats.
