The earliest legitimate punk group that I know of is the Germs, both in terms of vocal melody and instrumentation. There could be some that came before that were actual punk rock groups, I'm not really a punker, but Johny Rotten, Iggy Pop, Dee Dee, and certainly Lou Reed had nothing to do with them.
Based on what you've written above, I'd certainly say you were no punker!
