What's so great about New Jersey?

I'll allow you to take the claim as being more violent; it's not really my thing anyway.
I'm actually writing an article on what NJ is and how it has influenced the country. It's inspired by a book written on NJ's history, and how NJ's historical accomplishments have been overshadowed because it is so close to NYC. That, and my Texan boyfriend thinks Texas is God's gift to the world. Whatever.
Anyway, if anyone has any sources I could use, that would be great. I have Jersey's history covered, but I'll still take anything on that; I am looking more for cultural influences. For example, there is a whole group of writers who left NJ, only to make movies about it. Ex. Zach Braff ("Garden State"), Kevin Smith (''Jersey Girl''), Todd Solondz (''Happiness''), and Tom McCarthy (''The Station Agent''). So, if anyone can help me... what is so great about NJ? What has it done for its country? What seperates us from other states and creates our unique identity? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
new jersey produces the most influential bands, has the best shows, pits, women, i could go on, but its almost 7am. time to slave

The Jerseybag

A Jerseybag is not always literally a douche from New Jersey, although there can be obvious connections. Like, well, being from New Jersey. But a Jerseybag is actually a state of mind: a cultural cocktail of swill reared in the big-hair, Bon Jovi arena rock concerts of the late 1980s and post–Dice Clay cries of male scrotal grabbing.

GTFO, you aint real jersey then. You hate everything but hunterdon county? Thats like the shittiest county there is. Na i cant say that cuz theres prolly a whole bunch of equally shitty counties down in south jerz, but hunterdon? What the fuck is there? I cant even think of nothing that is there becuz its so shitty. Everything good in jersey is either down the shore, near philly, or in passaic, essex, hudson, union and bergen county. How you gonna hate on newark? How you gonna hate on atlantic city? The fuck kinda shit is that yo. You prolly one of them rich jersey kids that loves to rep jerz but hates on everything that aint a upper class suburb in jersey.

This is an old post but you and me got the same attitude, lol. Thats that jerseys all about. Hunterdon county? I consider that part of pennsylvania. South jersey does have equally shitty counties, i went down there for a school trip years ago and there were people with confederate flags hangin from their pickup trucks... I was like..this CANT be jersey why arent these people shot yet? The areas that you said are the the real jersey. Nothing puts a smile on my face like driving past that huge oil refinery in linden along the turnpike. A couple miles later you got newark airport, nyc skyline is visible to the right. Thats when I know I'm almost home right where I wanna be.

I think its because NJ is so fast-paced, people need to slow down. People have a lot of pent up rage due to overcrowding and traffic (god i love that feeling) so we need something to calm us down from time to time. Of course it could just be the overwhelming amount of heroin available. But then again if NJ wanted meth it would be here in a heartbeat.
 
If you want a life experience, live a couple of years in New Jersey.

I think it's so special because the entire state is so diverse. We have everything from the worst ghettos, to some of the richest/nicest towns to live in, to hill-billie towns and then just regular middle class towns. If you stop and think it's really amazing how many different types of towns/people fit into little New Jersey.

I have to agree that North Jersey is the best place to live. You are so close to everything. I've lived in North Jersey all my life, and I would never trade it for anything in the world. Yea sometimes it smells, and sometimes you hear some really shitty news, but in the end, Jersey is the place to be.

And I must say, I am 100% a Jersey Girl. I have NEVER and WILL never pump my own gas =D

^ Is there really THAT many people of Italian decent in New Jersey? I mean, you have your Gino's/Gina's ( people who are guido's but indeed, have no Italian in them, its sad.

I love New Jersey because its geographical multifariousness. I mean, I can go 30 miles in one direction, and be in impermeable woodland without a pupil or house in miles, yet 30 miles south(just an example) I'll be in congested traffic in a urbanized area. 45 miles from that area, I could be resting on a beach soaking up sun. There isn't too many place like that where all these possibilities come into play.
 
Theres mad italians, wat are you talking about, its wat makes us so great! guinea pride
