It makes perfect sense ( See: and: ), but perhaps someone can get a cite-able wiki-use-able source? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.136.52 ( talk) 07:13, 19 February 2010 (UTC) Reply Given that this unsubstantiated connection to "Oy vey" has had seven years without a reasonable connection or citation to Oi! music, and given this is more a topic for the history of the phrase Oi!, I am removing this on the grounds of original research. Street punk music is a cry of exasperation as in "Oy" which the East End skins picked up from the Yiddische shops. Many original skins say it came from East End skins (where most of the early Oi! skins originated) getting their bespoke clothing tailored at East End Jewish tailors. Because of this it doesn't "mean" anything, and when people ask what Oi "means" some people seem to insist on making up some crap rather than just saying it doesn't mean anything. For a start Oi started in England, not Sweden, and "Oi!" in England isn't really even a word, it's more of a sound to get peoples attention. They're just trying to make themselves sound more cultured than they are. I've seen numerous Americans trying to "explain" Oi as being Swedish for "hello", so "Oi music means hello", or something. How come no one accept this person is refering to Oi! as a very common method of saying hello im many heritages? please sombody find some info on this and i might actuall come back to this site. This is the explanation we got back then in the 80's, it's how it sounds when an Englishman says "hey!" Runlevel0 18:17, 23 December 2013 (UTC) - Preceding unsigned comment added by Runlevel0 ( talk
