oi!

Cockney English greeting that evolved into a label for a genre of music that evolved parallel to but largely separate from punk rock - absent the ridiculous politics and playing dress-up. Originally performed by bands like the Last Resort, now employed by bands as diverse as Retaliator and Stormwatch, to name a few.

Rancid is not oi. Rancid is gay.
