RE: Oi! Division
Yeah, that whole "Early Blitz meets late era Blitz" is definitely a thing now. I never thought "New Age" could sustain a whole genre. Somebody made a YouTube video essay about it.

    First time hearing the term Oi! Division lol. I tend to like a lot of the bands doing that style and I never put together that name.

    haha yeah I heard a reference to the deification of Blitz's "New Age" recently but they should really bow down to the Effigies from "Forever Grounded" onward!

    Since we are getting so micro: any Finns here? I heard some reference to a Finnish sub-genre mentioning this band - so kind of riffy twee punk/pop...

    I though the word was "rössö" punk but that means "scumbag" in Finnish(?)
    Joni Ekman would seem to be right in that area also...

        I've discussed it with a couple of Finns when I stayed in Finland last summer. It's "nössöpunk", a term used to describe softer melodic Finnish pop punk, as opposed to the raw hardcore punk Finland is often known for. One of the pals I was hanging out was referring to it as "wimp punk". Some bands include Teini-Pää, Kaikki Turhat Haaveet, etc.

            In France we also have a term for bands playing post-Tragedy melodic d-beat/ crust : we call them « crust de salon », which means « living room crust » (as opposed to « gutter crust » or something like that).

              pizza punk (annoying burger records style party punk with imagery based around cartoony gross food)
              freak punk (something I saw used around in Montreal and Toronto 5-10 years ago to describe weird punk meets hardcore with a flair for the dramatic and humorous)

              Remember when Turbonegro called themselves “Death Punk”? Ha!

              Rapid Adapter I heard someone call Homefront “Cold OI!” a while back. Not sure if that tracks or not. They have more of a post-punk/street punk/oi!-ish sound than goth leanings imo. 🤷🏻‍♂️

                Fake punk. I would also like to recommend under the radar Swizz fake punkers Ede & The Freewavers. The most inept act I've heard trying to cash in on the summer of '77 alongside Los Punk Rockers. Kinda sounds like a mix of X-Ray Spex and Teddy & The Fratgirls/Sheer Smegma.
