About the Screaming Cowboy Meme
A man in a black cowboy hat and dark suit appears as a massive, semi-transparent ghost superimposed over a barren desert landscape. His mouth is wide open in a full-body scream aimed at the empty sky. The desert stretches flat in every direction. There is nobody to hear him and he does not care. This is screaming for the sake of screaming, and the desert is his audience.
From the music video for "Big Enough" by Kirin J Callinan featuring Jimmy Barnes, where Barnes appears as a giant ghostly figure in the sky screaming over a desert landscape. The surreal image of a cowboy-hat-wearing man howling into the void became a meme staple for expressing extreme emotions, dramatic announcements, and moments that demand a primal scream. The absurdity of a semi-transparent man superimposed over a desert is what makes it endlessly reusable. For another mountain-based declaration, see Shout It From The Mountain Tops. For a different version, see Screaming Cowboy 2.
