New Jersey gets a lot of undeserved hate because it's part of NYC popular culture to shit on them. And as a result, that bleeds in to national popular media.
New Jersey is nicer, the people are friendlier, the streets aren't lined with fucking filth and the buildings aren't falling apart the way they are in NYC. It's a bit cheaper to boot.
By far, my time in Newark was more pleasant than my time in NYC. At this point I wouldn't go back to NYC unless something pretty compelling made it worth dealing with the bullshit New York puts you through.
It's weird to me when people shit on NJ despite never going there. It's the same energy as when people repeat stupid jokes from reddit to feel like they're part of the group. Makes my skin crawl a little.
Also weird, but understandable I guess, is when people's only experience with NJ is like the airport, or the Secaucus train station, and they assume the whole state is like that. Like thinking all of Nevada is Vegas' strip. It's not representative.
NJ is fine. I mean, I detest the suburbs so large chunks of it are not for me.
NYC does have a lot of stuff happening. Pretty much any band on tour will play NYC, for one thing.
Counterpoint: the people I deal with in person from Jersey are on average way more annoying than the surrounding states.
From this distance they almost blur into the same place. NYC would be ground zero for like, rats and pizza and graffiti and everything being really expensive and NJ kinda sounds like more of the same but less intense and with the Sopranos and beach boardwalks. Can you tell I've never been anywhere near either one? :p
