Oi!

is a working-class punk subgenre that emerged in late 1970s Britain, blending the raw aggression of punk with streetwise, anthemic choruses. Influenced by bands like Cockney Rejects, Sham 69, and The 4-Skins, Oi! embraced themes of unity, rebellion, and everyday struggles. With its tough, no-frills sound and gang-chant vocals, it became a defining force in punk’s evolution, influencing hardcore and street punk worldwide.
