German Oi

German oi is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Germany. It is characterized by its aggressive sound, simple chord progressions, and lyrics that often deal with working-class issues and anti-authoritarianism. Bands like Slime and Toxoplasma are considered pioneers of German oi, which has been associated with far-left politics and anti-fascist activism.
