I'm not from NYC although I did live with someone from Jersey for awhile.

Most of the stereotypes of people from jersey are generally true. I don't know, I guess most people would say that it's like rednecks of New England?

I'm kind of curious about what, exactly, the stereotypes of people from New Jersey are. I've lived in New Jersey my entire life and just about everyone I've ever known was well-educated, upper-middle class, and I don't get how that could be a negative stereotype.

I could be wrong, but aren't different areas of Jersey drastically different? I think the stereotype of Jersey goombahs is more northern, yes? Anyway, the stereotype involves flashy clothes, gold chains, and too much cologne. But I know plenty of people from places like Cherry Hill, etc, that aren't like that at all.

It's like the difference between people from the western suburbs of Boston and places like Revere.
