Although to be honest I don't think I've fully grasped the difference between Oi! and Punk, as far as I can tell I like a good amount of the stuffs.

[pedro durruti]

Oxymoron are street punk, but don't worry, we all make this mistake. It's like a punk rite of passage to call Oxymoron oi and get beaten up by a skinhead

[Sebek]

Anyone care to explain the differences to me? I've been listening to it for awhile now, but never really bothered/cared about what all the subgenres meant and how they could be identified. But it seems ignorant to me now not to at least know a few of the basic subgenres.

[pedro durruti]

There's an oi education thread linked in the rules, I think

Couldn't Oxymoron be considered Oi! as well?

[Culture Shock]

I'd say that street punk and oi are closely related. Plenty of bands have been labeled oi and have openly stated that they were just playing punk all along.

[pedro durruti]

Yeah do whatever you want with them

A lot of Oi! is boring in my opinion. But there still is some really good Oi! bands...

YES.

[SantaDuJuan]

Major Accident is god.
I believe Oxymoron is Street Punk.
Oi! and Street Punk can be linked together by lyrics and music.

I love Oi. C'ock Sparrer and Sham 69 are probally my favourite oi bands. I also like Cockney Rejects and Angelic Upstarts. I think Peter and The Test Tube Babies are considered Oi aren't they? Because I called them street once and someone said they were not.

I would not call the Test Tube Babies oi or street punk. They're just another second wave punk band. Label any band you want, it matters not.

[RetiredAt21]

My favorite Oi! bands are:

Cockney Rejects
The Templars
Oxblood
C'ock Sparrer
Sham 69

[Culture Shock]

All of the well known classic oi bands are quality.

[AdictAddict]

i like oi a lot, even though i got a little sick of it like 8 months ago. i like many of the bands mentioned, but also combat 84. They are a great band, but not many people seem to mention them here. oh, and lets not forget the toy dolls..... another good band

I've yet to see Toy Dolls as an Oi band.

[AdictAddict]

I've yet to see Toy Dolls as an Oi band.
eh, i think most people consider them to be an oi band. Sure, they are not typical, but when they started playing they did shows with many oi bands and various aspects of their music (like the choruses) have an oi sound. Either way though, whatever genre you call them, they are good.

[AIRIC]

Where have you been?

I wouldn't call them oi, but they definetly have alot of oi influences. The toy dolls have a genre of their own i guess

[D & V]

skrewdriver are my fav.

[Ghostfire3]

skrewdriver are my fav.

I hope you're kidding.

[D & V]

I hope you're kidding.
LOL/JK Condemned 84 are my fav.

[AIRIC]

I like Condemned 84 too.

[Brain Toad]

Skrewdriver were a good oi band.
Either Combat or Condemned are the band that refused to play a show with The Templars because they have a black member.

[AdictAddict]

Where have you been?
me? uhh, i dont know i was pretty busy for a while there, didnt post much in punk at all (mostly the drums forum). I am making a comeback though, as that was my first post in a good 4 months. feels good to be here again, heh :thumb:

i am pretty sure that rumor was about condemned, but i dont know if it is true.
