Americans should stick to hardcore.
Dont get me started on NYHC
Well if you don’t wanna get it off your chest that’s fine-
Should replace it with Ork-Punk, where everyone dresses and talks like 40k Orks.
American Oi still exists?
Apparently so, social media has inexplicably been showing me oi pages (which I am guilty of looking at for too long trying to pick out the nazis).
I hadn’t heard a single “Oi” for the better part of 20 years and I think we were better off for it.
I’ll give the Brits this: hard to not be a teaboo for the island that blessed the world with corgis. (Yeah they’re welsh, but Celtic culture carries Br*tain.)
I do love corgis
How can someone NOT love comrade Bailey?
Silly stupid skinheads
After our town got a soccer team suddenly a bunch of punks shaved their heads and started going to games. They’re in their 30s, it is too old to do that

Thinking about whatever punk documentary and all the English bands when they played LA the first time never wanted to come back because it was so brutal
This makes complete sense, your posting is very rational and quite frankly, not vague enough
I’ll bite
What is oi culture? Americans pretending to be British? Is that all?
Oi = a subgenre of punk created by skinheads. Usually the songs are catchy and meant to sound like drinking songs. There’s some that are admittedly catchy as all fuck, but that shit is from 70’s England, it being in America 50 years later is IMO just silly.
Specifically a genre of punk music, “street punk” or “oi”. It has significant overlap with skinhead culture. Lots of gang vocals and chants and singing about boots and fights; typically low brow, even for punk. It was originally a working class identity (London East end) whose aesthetics became a subculture/genre.
Not to be pedantic, but street =/= oi
Yeah sure. Squares, rectangles.
Oh, these guys
I thought they all died in a grease fire or something
Japanese oi > British oi
I’m more into Luna Oi subculture
Oh shit got a good link?
Crust lord here. This isnt oi. This is pogo. Beer Belly rocks but oil isnt the same tjing as streetpunk/pogo/uk82 (same thing more or less under different names). Even Tom and Boot Boys is Japanese street punk despite their references to oi. Oi is closer to 77 punk, midtempo and very singing heavy. Its kinda not a real genre and just the kind of punk rock Gary Bushnell promoted heavily through NME. Generally speaking its stuff thst sounds like Sham 69 or Cocksparrer. So, 77 punk but with emphasis on football chant. The Erections: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9gzm3-8Mgw&list=RDY9gzm3-8Mgw&start_radio=1&pp=
Or later Swankys woild be closer to oi. I commend its not a real genre and is just the general sound of what skinheads like
I woulda said Cock Sparrer as an example
What i get for reading too fast
It happens. Shock Troops is such an overall amazing album I didnt wanna emoahsoxe em too much. Ever heard The Underdogs? They had a demo and a single on riot city records way back and sound exaxtly like No Hope For the kids 15 ywaes earlier
It’s a real shame their big tune East of Dachau is peak anticommunist anarchism but they were also teenagers who recorded it in 1983 so whatever. Irs such a sick tune

Should I be sad that I understood this post?
I mean, I’m happy I didn’t understand the post but I’m not sure why so I guess
