Oi

Oi is a subgenre of punk rock characterized by its energetic and anthemic sound, often featuring simple, catchy melodies, and prominent vocal choruses. Emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the UK, oi music drew inspiration from working-class street culture and football hooliganism, with lyrics frequently addressing themes of social disillusionment and rebellion. As a reaction to the commercialization of punk, oi bands adopted a raw, DIY approach, incorporating elements of rock 'n' roll, pub rock, and street punk. The genre's heyday was marked by its association with skinhead subculture, but its influence extends beyond this affiliation, with many bands incorporating oi elements into their sound. Notable for its sing-along choruses and unbridled energy, oi music has maintained a devoted following, with its irreverent spirit and defiant attitude continuing to inspire new generations of punk and hardcore fans.
