Street punk (alternatively spelled streetpunk) is a working class[1]-based genre of punk rock which took shape in the early 1980s, partly as a rebellion against the perceived artistic pretensions of the first wave of British punk.[2][3] Street punk emerged from the Oi! style, performed by bands such as Sham 69, Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects, Cock Sparrer, and UK Subs.[4][5][6] However, street punk continued beyond the confines of the original Oi! form. Street punks generally have a much more outlandish appearance than the working class or skinhead image cultivated by many Oi! groups[7]; whereas Oi! groups would typically wear jeans, t-shirts, cropped or shaven heads, and braces, street punks often had multi-coloured hair, mohawks, spike-encrusted leather vests, and clothing with political slogans or the names of punk bands. It has been called "aggressive yet [with] melody...[and] uncorrupted by "professionalism" or "musicianship." .
