Is it wrong to like the music, even if you don't agree with the sentiments expressed in the lyrics?
If I download tracks illegally, I won't be financially endorsing there whoop-cough hate-fits.

bumb
and post.
Come on, you cockney jitler's!
...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fITeLTPdpaQ
you know an Oi! band
This definitely means your racist.
Shit son.
Hard Skin
Liking Oi! music does not make you a racist/nazi/homophobe/fascist
I recomment Geoffrey Oi!Cott, all their songs are about cricket.
I've seen The Business
more times than I care to mention and they're great. And no they're not NF/BNP/C18 before anyone asks.
Likewise Abrasive Wheels and Splodgenessabounds.
Splodgenessabounds
Apparently their all set for a revival next year. I've even heard rumors of a new album.
'oi music' is actually for people who are not very intelligent.
Its shit, for idiots who can't appreciate music as an art form, but only as something to make noise to.
Much like The Vines then?
And so says Professor Wrightylew
of Burnley University
Much as I dislike Oi bands
they ain't racists. There's a big difference between the likes of the Cockney Rejects and Splodge on the one hand and genuine scummy White Power bands. My dislike of Oi is purely musical - they looked at the original wave of punks and took the short hair and the lack of musical ability without any of the imagination and intelligence.
I resent that, boy.
Blanket statement.
Based on what I've heard I assure you
unless you can provide a counter-example ?
noise is good
It aint.
Its good when you're 15 and you feel a bit naughty. But then when you start to desire class, you realise its shit unless its got tune to it.
...
When it evokes some sort of animalistic rage, it's a good thing.
As long as you don't start massacring school children.
.
bullshit.
When I was a small child
My friends and I would go into a local department store and ask them to play a track from the first Cockney Rejects album.
The minute "Freedom?, there aint no fucking freedom!" filled the air the record was whipped off the turntable accompanied by filthy looks from the shop worker.
Oh how we giggled as we ran out the shop!!
We didn't have the internet to amuse us back in those days...
...
...
I've only ever seen one proper Oi! show
and it fulfilled every Oi! stereotype I could think of - except the racist thing - but they did have a lot of songs about how great football hooliganism is.
they didn't appreciate my friends band who were opening the show
