Well, it's the used as the first example of the sub-genre when you search "Neo Western Definition". Perhaps the better question would be "In what sense is No Country for Old Men not a "western"? A neo-Western is a subgenre that applies traditional Western themes—such as justice, revenge, and rugged individualism—to a modern-day setting, usually the American West. These films/series, which include examples like No Country for Old Men, Logan, and Yellowstone, replace horses with cars and frontier law with contemporary moral ambiguity.
