I get it in Australia all the time. When I told work colleagues I say I only eat 1 meal a day on weekdays they were shocked. Now they bug my all the time saying 'have you eaten yet today?' and 'you don't need to diet you're so thin'. I'm thin because I watch what I eat. I eat lots for dinner and on weekends so I try to only eat one meal on weekdays.
Punk hasn't been a counterculture movement since the 80s, these days it's overwhelmingly conformist. God forbid you express a political opinion that's slightly right of centre you'll get your teeth knocked out.
