"Cattlepunk" is a setting descriptor, loosely akin to [[Steampunk]] or [[Dieselpunk]]. It is a "hybrid genre" descriptor where the Western genre is mixed with elements of other settings, most notably steampunk, due to the relative closeness of eras when the two genres are set. This is a fairly obscure genre, although it was popular on TV in the 60s - the original Wild, Wild West TV show was an excellent example of the "Western meets Steampunk" version, with spy thriller aspects thrown in for good measure, whilst there was a shortlived Lone Ranger cartoon in 1966 that was full-fledged Cattlepunk.

Some examples of Cattlepunk /tg/ material include:
