Can someone put “boring” into perspective?

For example, this sub loves to call Charlotte and Raleigh boring compared to Asheville, which is considered “cool.” Raleigh apparently lacks culture, nightclubs, and a good food scene, while Asheville has “arts and culture.” But no one ever explains what that actually means. Murals? Why would I care if there are murals on my morning commute?

I currently live in a town of 40-50 thousand. The next biggest town (200k) is two hours away, and the nearest cities (with an international airport) are three hours away. When it comes to food, we have about one of most things. Nightclubs? We have one, but it’s a gang hangout now. I’ll try to go once a year with my buddies, but it’s not somewhere my wife wants to be seen. Live music? There’s one bar that hosts it, but it’s not great—and my wife wouldn’t want to be seen there either.

The closest beach is an 11-hour drive.

We are near mountains and have plenty of “outdoorsy” activities, but that’s not my jam. We do have two festivals a year with beer gardens, which can be fun, though they can become big high school reunions—not that I mind.

I would assume my town is boring. I'd agree. If I actually pull the plug and move to Charlotte what am I actually getting?
