They like to wear vertically striped shirts unbuttoned halfway down, and gel their hair before going to the club. I refer to them as "jersey" because they are often the ones who proclaim the greatness of NJ the most, and thus have become identified with the state and especially the shore.
WOWZA - Such a sweeping generalization! I could then say... No, I won't. I'll say that the type you've described, in my experience also found in Rhode Island, Maryland, MA, PA, NY and FL, too, are a minority (though I also find them irritating). I thought it had more to do with testosterone and youth than their state of residence.
