    What is Oi?

    I friggin love the Moloko Men, it is the only oi band that I listen
    too, if I ever listen to that, but there seems to be a million different
    interpetations of oi, Racist, not racist, skinhead racist, not skinhead
    racsit, blah. So what is oi? I heard it was founded in reggae music
    actually. Although Moloko Men are kinda extreme with the guns and
    all that, I dig the shit out of them. They are out of Vallejo, Cali

      Oi! is a working class oriented, punk genre. Decidedly non-racist. Wikipedia has an entry if you're interested.

        Never heard of Oi.. But if you are talking about racists.. have you ever listen to rap? It's very racist and sexist.

            This band reminded me of the Oi thread you created.

                Look at this! Have you seen the prices that Murray is charging these days for a pound of lox?

                Oi!

                      I would argue the greatest oi band touring these days are The Wrongdoers.



                      Shit that brings me much joy
