It must’ve been a trip living through the era of Spaghetti Westerns. Every other week, you could just hop along to a movie theater and see a cast of Europeans give their take on one of the most potent pieces of mythology that the US has to this day. 

While those days are behind us, it’s easy to see why many people are still smitten with ideas of the Wild West. There’s something very satisfying about the idea of a life in the desert, herding cattle, lassoing people, and having stand-offs in saloons. Also, cowboy fashion is something else. 

This all comes together to make an irresistible topic for memes. Cowboy movies may be more infrequent these days, but the internet is more than willing to pick up the slack. Hopefully, some of these images will have you riding off into the sunset, without a care in the world (until the next meme list, that is).
