I've always defined "punk" as being a jerk, that is not caring about all the wrong things. Most "punks" I know by this definition don't care what people think as in they are completely lacking any sort of compassion or empathy or any sort of understanding of others at all. They usually do care about what people think about ONE thing though, whether or not people see them as people who don't care what others think (so irony that it's like, super irony). By your definition, no problem with being like that then.
In any case, rebelling in such a way has always seemed to me to be something of a huge care for other's opinions, MUST be hated type of thing, a sort of desire to be viewed the way one "hates" to be viewed to confirm one's beliefs on how the world is. Of course that's not YOU you described (unless you recently died your hair, though being a natural green just looks better) since I've seen pictures and you look like nerd, so I'm excused! Hope I didn't touch any nerves out there, but then again I don't, care? Did I get it right?
Oh yeah, it WAS OB1 who actually got upset because I wouldn't share info like that with him. Man, you actually took that personally. I'd just rather stay an amorphous blob so I'm treated like "every human", who is a FREAK, but still. That's right, Every Human, or to acronyse my appearence description, "eh"!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
