I think this may always have been a thing. The idea of 'differentiation' in psychology might be related; where young adults seek for ways to be _different_ than their parents/siblings/peers.
This makes me realize the trope of “young person from the west who just wants to GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS TOWN” is much older than I thought.
