Oi! is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. The music and its associated subculture had the goal of bringing together punks, skinheads, and other disaffected working-class youth.
Oi! music was an attempt to keep punk a populist, street-level phenomenon, and most of it came from the working class of South London and the cockney East End. When Garry Bushell, then features editor at Sounds, coined the term “Oi!” he gave us a punk subgenre that was loud, brutal, and extremely simple.
