Cowpunk

Cowpunk alebo Country punk je subžáner punk rocku, ktorý vznikol v Spojenom kráľovstve a Kalifornii koncom 70. rokov a začiatkom 80. rokov. Spája v sebe punk rock alebo New Wave s country, folkom alebo bluesom vo zvukovej podstate, skutkovej podstate, postoji a štýle.Gerald Haslam, Workin' Man Blues: Country Music in California (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1999) covers all of the major movements in California Country music from the Hollywood Cowboys to Country Rock.  He also includes a chapter on the 1980s and the "Los Angeles renaissance" of country-styled "roots", rockabilly and cowpunk music and interviews members of The Blasters, Los Lobos, X/The Knitters, Lone Justice, Dwight Yoakam, Rosie Flores, Rank and File and The Beat Farmers.  Kurt Wolff in The Rough Guide to Country Music (London: Rough Guides, 2000) also highlights chapters covering major California contributions to Country Music: Hollywood Cowboys, The Bakersfield Sound and Country Rock as well as California's contribution to Western Swing. Under chapters dealing with Dwight Yoakam and Alternative Country, Wolf mentions the influence of Los Angeles and its 1980s "roots" music scene. Množstvo hudobníkov tejto scény je spájaných s alternative country alebo roots rockom.
