The Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs meme features the iconic cover art of Marty Robbins' 1959 country-western album, depicting the singer as a steely-eyed outlaw with a quick-draw revolver. While originally a classic of the genre, the image gained massive internet notoriety through its association with the track 'Big Iron,' which became a staple of the Fallout: New Vegas soundtrack. This led to a resurgence of popularity on platforms like Reddit and YouTube, where the image is used to represent overwhelming power, quick reactions, or 'chad' behavior in cowboy form. Today, the meme is frequently edited to place the 'Big Iron' in ridiculous situations or to represent someone ready to shut down an argument with superior speed.
