While not every Western followed the cliché, by the 1930s cowboy serials had landed on a consistent visual cue: the hero of the show wore a white hat, and the villain wore a black one. At the end of the day, however, they both were cowboys with cowboy hats.
Westerns aren’t much of a cultural touchpoint anymore,

Good morning,
I am happy to be back, and not a moment too soon.
