--> Aw man, there's nothing to do in this stupid town. Rope swing's busted, stinkin' cops always kicking me out of the park, manager of the 7-11 always saying 'Get off my curb, you good-for-nothings!'. All the girls already know I'm a bad kisser so they won't come anywhere near me. I dunno how many times I've been to T.G.I.F; a kid can eat an Onion Bloom only so many times. Bowling's boring, the skating rink's been taken over by twelve-year-olds. There ain't no good movies out. Blockbuster never has any good games in. I don't want to play [[StarWars Bombad Racing!]] I mean, what the heck is that? I'm sick of all my records but any time I go to the record store, I forget what I want to get! And there ain't nothing on TV! Not a stupid thing! There ain't nothing to do but take naps, and wait patiently for death!"

** It gets worse in the [[DownOnTheFarm Great Plains states]], where this trope, combined with industrialized agriculture outcompeting small farmers, has been causing [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_flight a demographic crisis]]. Small towns are being abandoned as nobody shows up to replace the young people who leave, and the last Census survey holds that some areas now have a lower population density than they did in [[TheWildWest 1890, the year that the frontier was declared to be closed]]. There have even been calls to bring back the Homestead Act in order to resettle the Plains states.
