nj stereotypes

People LOVE to hate New Jersey, but a map that's gone viral on social media might be the most accurate list of stereotypes yet... and it's hilarious.

Once you become a resident of South Jersey, the region starts to fuse with your personality. You definitely start to become one with your surroundings.

We're all tired of stereotypes, misinformation, and opinions.

We've all seen the north, central, and south Jersey maps, even the pork roll vs. Taylor ham maps floating around, but this latest collection takes dividing the Garden State to new extremes.

We'd love it if people stopped saying these things to us.

Think there's any truth in these five NJ stereotypes? You be the judge. Make sure you laugh, though, too.

I think I can speak for the entire state that we're all over the Jersey stereotypes, misinformation, and opinions.

Do people seriously think everyone from New Jersey is like this?

People who aren't from New Jersey definitely have an idea of what we're like here. But some of the things I've heard people say will make you go "really?"

The purpose of this project was two-fold. First, to explain the ways and awesomeness of New Jersey to the world. And secondly, to have a laugh at the sayings and misunderstandings that drive us nuts!
