Oi

Oi is a form of punk rock music that originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. It is characterized by a distinctive working class and street punk sound, as well as lyrics that often focus on topics such as working class pride and anti-establishment sentiment. The term “Oi” is derived from the Cockney pronunciation of the word “hey”, which is used as a rallying call. The sound of Oi is often described as a cross between punk and pub rock, and typically includes shouted vocals and a driving rhythm section. Oi has become popular among punk and skinhead subcultures, and has seen a resurgence in recent years, particularly in the United Kingdom.
