Cowboy pop is a term that American music journalist J. D. Considine first coined in his review of Rubber Rodeo's 1984 album Scenic Views.[1] Although the term was coined in the 1980s, its usage since that time has been varied.[2] In the late 2010s, the term began to be used to describe country-influenced indie rock and indie pop bands.[3][4][5][6]
