Le cowpunk, ou country punk, est un sous-genre musical du punk rock ayant émergé au Royaume-Uni et en Californie à la fin des années 1970 et au début des années 1980. Il mélange punk rock ou new wave à la musique country, au folk, et au blues[1],[2]. Certains musiciens de la scène sont désormais associés à la country alternative ou au roots rock.
