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.
I’ll bite
What is oi culture? Americans pretending to be British? Is that all?

Not to be pedantic, but street =/= oi
Yeah sure. Squares, rectangles.
