A teenager growing up in a small rural town wants to get away from it all, to the big city, or abroad, anywhere but the boring old Small Town. Characters who come from this background, such as the Country Mouse and Farm Boy, generally Jump At The Call. If they don't, expect the call to come looking for them anyway. Compare and contrast with Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here and Hated Hometown. Related to Grass Is Greener, which is about someone in bad conditions dreaming of going to a better place. Often seen in stories set in Dying Towns, perhaps ones with Small Town Rivalry. Contrast From New York to Nowhere. If the small town is actively toxic to live in because of its insular nature, it can lead into Small Town, Big Hell. Often, however, leads to An Aesop about Home Sweet Home and appreciating what you've got. A common subtype is leaving the Close-Knit Community and finding that Apathetic Citizens are much worse. If a specific town is named, expect it to be Toledo, Ohio or Cleveland. When this happens in a musical, expect a "Somewhere" Song or a Wanderlust Song. Contrast the inverse trope, Big Town Boredom, when a character living in a bigger city or suburb wants to move to a small town or just anywhere that's generally smaller and more rural. |

Rita in El Cazador de la Bruja desperately wants to escape her small town and go to the big city. The narrative treats her as mentally ill, which depending on taste can be an interesting anti-urbanist Deconstruction or an obnoxious example of Values Dissonance. | |

Emma: Downplayed with Emma's feeling about Highbury, her home village (almost town) in Surry. She's a bright young woman who has lived there her entire life and takes care of her elderly father. She enjoys being the first lady in the Highbury society but considers others to be rather inferior (with the exception of Mr and Mrs Weston and Mr Knightley). When Emma meets Frank Churchill, he speaks of Highbury so handsomely, that Emma begins "to feel she has been used to despise the place rather too much". Emma's desire to travel is hinted at, e.g. when she jokingly complains that she's the only one who has never seen the sea. Frank Churchill grew up in a secluded Big Fancy House and once he's an adult, he's travelling in England (e.g. he visits Weymouth, a popular spa town) and he has a great desire to travel abroad. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: This shows up in both Tuuri and Reynir's backstories. The Plague that has been around for ninety years results in those who are not The Immune greatly discouraged from leaving whichever place they were born in, and the Depopulation Bomb resulting from the initial outbreak has made just about all settlements small (sometimes very small) towns. Tuuri has lived in two of those small settlements during her childhood, the second implied to be significantly larger than the first, but still yearns for more. Reynir lives in the only known entire country to have been secured, but his great-grandfather who was alive during the initial outbreak reacted to the circumstances by intentionally moving to a small town. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), this is Tom's motivation for wanting to leave Green Hills for San Francisco. He wants to join the SFPD because he wants to be challenged in his abilities as a police officer and have someone rely on him. There's no challenge for Tom in helping people recover bagels stolen by ducks and sitting at a speed trap. Sonic calls him out for wanting to stop defending Green Hills just for a higher ranking position in a bigger urban city. At the end of the film, he chooses to stay in Green Hills after all and let Sonic live with him and Maddie. | |

Touched on sometimes in King of the Hill, specifically the episode where Hank worries about losing Bobby to a more exciting place... like Wichita Falls, home of the Dallas Cowboys training camp. Hank tries to campaign to have the training camp moved to Arlen, with disastrous results, but in the end Bobby says that he would never move to Wichita Falls—because to be a prop comic you need to go to New York or Los Angeles. | |

Discworld: Most young people in the villages and small towns of the Ramtops and Sto Plains dream of moving to Ankh-Morpork, where things actually happen and there are professions that don't involve cabbages.

The Peripheral (2022): Played for Drama. Flynne has been trapped in the Wretched Hive that is Clanton for her entire life, having to take care of her sick mother and provide for the family while her brother Burton was in the Marines. Her trips to 2099 London have been such an amazing source of escapism that she doesn't even care that the headset which enables this is harming her, she just wants to keep going. | |

Uranium, Saskatchewan of Ride the Cyclone is a shrinking, insignificant little mining town in northern Canada, home to the main characters who all die in the first fifteen minutes of the show. Noel worked a miserable job at the Taco Bell in the mall because he wanted to save up enough money to move to France, Mischa wanted to become a famous rapper and move back to Ukraine to be with his online girlfriend, and Ocean wanted to leave Uranium so she could make a difference in the world. The only member of the choir who ever expressed any fondness for Uranium was Constance, and she was teased mercilessly by her classmates for liking their hometown. Several lines in "Sailing Through Space" reference their fears that they'll never leave their hometown — a tragic irony because all six of them die (and five remain dead) without having gotten the chance to move away. | |

Persona 4: Inaba is a small rural town where normally, at least before the murders, nothing of interest happens. This provides initial characterization for several characters. Yosuke Hanamura is a transfer student who comes from a big city. As such, in the beginning he's secretly very frustrated by having nothing exciting to do. Shadow Yosuke amplifies this aspect and mocks him for being a Heroic Wannabe and treating the murders as an excuse to have an adventure. While he still calls Inaba boring, he admits the new friends are worth more than the thrills. Yukiko Amagi is the inheritor of the Amagi Inn, which she's not very fond of, and is expected to soon become its manager. Her boredom manifests in Shadow Yukiko, who accuses her of prefering a self-inflicted Gilded Cage and doing nothing but wait for a "prince" to take her away from Inaba. She eventually chooses to stay at the Inn in gratitude for her family. Boredom comes up in Eri Minami's Social Link. She has married an Inaba man who had a son and finds the town somewhat boring. TV and the Internet are her only forms of entertainment, and she also has no friends among the other mothers who come to the daycare center. The Heavy's main motive turns out to be the lack of fun. Per his admission, Tohru Adachi only became a police officer to legally walk with a gun, but quickly finds that there's really nothing for him to do in Inaba. The first murder happened accidentally in an Attempted Rape, because Mayumi Yamano rejected his love confession, while Saki Konishi was killed deliberately, both of whom Adachi considers his playthings. Realizing there are now both the supernatural and multiple people involved in the case, he masterminds the events of the rest of the game solely For the Evulz. One of the Midnight Channel's apparent purposes is to provide entertainment for the audience, by showcasing the worst aspects of a victim's personality in an advanced Malicious Slander. One of the themes of the game is that the best and not the worst parts makes the person interesting. Depending on player's dialogue choices, Yu can also agree the town is lackluster, though it has no gameplay significance. |

Shiki: Megumi expresses this at the start of the series, hoping to go travel to the big city from her rural village as she finds it boring. Ironically after she becomes a vampire, she's denied going to the city by her master and never leaves her village alive once she attempts to do so when things hit the fan. At most she gets a Dying Dream of finally going to Tokyo upon being staked in the manga. | |

All the main characters of Boy's Abyss feel this way. Chako wants to go to school in the city and takes up work with her favorite author despite knowing his infamy. Reiji bounces between bouts of suicidal attempts and Sex for Solace. His teacher, Ms. Shibasawa, started a relationship with him out of crippling loneliness. Gen makes Reiji buy cigarette packages he never uses and bullies others into leaving him alone because he'd otherwise have no one else in town left to connect to. Everyone's using everyone else as a Living Emotional Crutch, which means either that boredom is fulfilled in exactly the way they want with their chosen crutch on pain of jealousy and misery, or they suffer together in town. | |

"Whistle Down the Wind", from Bone Machine by Tom Waits, is about someone who feels this but can't make himself leave. It's implied that he's contemplating suicide. "Burma Shave" from Foreign Affairs by Tom Waits deals with a girl who runs away with a handsome out-of-town stranger in order to escape this. Again, it ends kind of darkly. |

Unfortunately, everyone on the island is forbidden from sailing past the reef, so she never gets the opportunity to explore the ocean. A Downplayed Example in that she does not dislike her village and is going to be their future chief. A part of Moana's character development involves her reconciling her love for her people and the strong draw of the ocean. | |

Daredevil (2015): In a season 3 flashback showing Karen's backstory, we see Karen dealing with this. It's prominent enough that her father and brother can see it, and it's implied that this (plus her father's inability to handle his money) is the reason she's shagging a drug dealer named Todd Neiman. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, this is Petyr Baelish's backstory in a nutshell. His family keep is on the smallest of the Fingers (peninsulars on the eastern coast), technically being petty lords beholden to the Lords of the Eyrie, and... they aren't exactly highly populous. Most people in the Seven Kingdoms won't ever think about them much, beyond "pirates and invasions from Essos very occasionally land there". About the most you can do on any of them is fish and look after goats or sheep. He went from that to the capital of the Riverlands (a bustling Danelaw Expy and trade hub), Riverrun, and back though no real fault of his own as a kid, thanks to a debt Lord Hoster Tully felt he owed Petyr's father. There, the young boy rubbed shoulders with the likes of Tullys and Lannisters — and received his rather mean-spirited nickname, to boot. However, Hoster withdrew Petyr's invite the minute he realised just how badly smitten Lysa was with the young nobody from a fishing hamlet not even beholden to Riverrun. No wonder Littlefinger has issues. | |

Swelter is set in the town of Baker, Nevada. At one point, another character speculates that the protagonist, Sheriff Bishop, may be the only person there who doesn't wish he was someplace else. Of course, one of the reasons it's so boring is his insistence on closing down anything fun but even slightly illegal (including a church bingo night). | |

In Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988), Elvira arrives in the pretty dull small town of Falwell, where the only hub of social life is a bowling alley and the sole movie theater only shows G-rated films. Elvira's arrival shakes around their boring status quo, and the local teens quickly grow fond of her because she brings entertainment to their lives. | |

Captain Kanril Eleya of Bait and Switch grew up in Priyat, a small town in Bajor's Kendra Province. She enlisted in the Bajoran Militia at the earliest legal age because she didn't want to be a town maintenance worker like her parents. In the prequel From Bajor to the Black it's further revealed that A) she felt the town was dying (half the population just lives there because it's close to Kendra City) and B) she'd get a scholarship after mustering out. (She wound up going to Starfleet Academy afterward instead.) | |

In an episode of The George Lopez Show, George is considering taking a new job and moving the family to a small town in Colorado. He believes that it will be a better place for the kids instead of L.A. However, when they go there to look around, they see that the kids that live there have literally nothing else to do but smoke, drink, and get into trouble (a little girl encourages Max to steal for little more than the fact it's a cheap thrill.) | |

Pokémon: The Series: Many children (and some adults) originate from small, humble towns in the Pokémon world, but often leave said-towns to become traveling Pokémon trainers. Even when they return home to meet up with family or celebrate their latest achievements, it isn't long until they immediately leave to go on a new adventure. The movie Pokémon: I Choose You! highlights that the entire world literally functions on this trope because a world without Pokémon is a dull and nearly lifeless society where the only adventure is going to school. | |

Once Upon a Time: Ruby (Red Riding Hood's counterpart) suffers from this. She actually tried to leave town prior to the show, but the curse gave her grandmother a heart attack, forcing her to stay in Storybrooke. Milah is often seen at the town's tavern and is bored of being a wife and a mother, so she fakes being kidnapped by Captain Hook to run away with him and his crew, abandoning her husband and young child. But when Rumpelstiltskin finds out about the deception, it does not end well for her. |
