Parent Genre: metal

Oi is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in the UK in the late 1970s. It is characterized by its working-class themes and aggressive, anthemic sound. Oi bands often incorporate elements of ska, reggae, and street punk into their music. The lyrics typically focus on social and political issues, as well as the experiences of the working-class. Oi has a strong following among skinheads and other subcultures associated with punk rock.
