Psychobilly (also
cowpunk, a somewhat earlier name) is a term used to describe bands who play a genre of music heavily based in
punk rock, but with many elements of
rockabilly. In addition, modern psychobilly often resembles
horror punk[?]. Musicians of this genre are often associated with a
hairstyle called a
quiff[?], which resembles a
mohawk.
The Misfits' "American Nightmare" may have been the first psychobilly song. Perhaps the most popular psychobilly artist is the
Rev. Horton Heat[?].
