In 2025, a new wave of French Oi! punk, exemplified by bands like Syndrome 81, combines working-class angst with coldwave influences. This fresh wave resonates with the original Oi! punk from the UK in the 1970s but incorporates post-punk elements. Bands like Rancoeur and Rixe adapt the genre with punchy basslines and drum-machine rhythms, while others explore darker melodies or lo-fi riffs. These groups reject historical far-right associations, promoting an antifascist message instead and innovating Oi! motifs through gang vocals and catchy synth hooks.
Syndrome 81 exemplifies a new wave of French Oi! punk, blending working-class angst with elements of coldwave, creating a sound distinctly their own.
French punk bands such as Rancoeur and Rixe merge post-punk influences with Oi!'s traditional elements, setting themselves apart from historical associations with fascism.
