I've only seen parts of the show a few times but the first thing I noticed was that it appeared no one in the show had a NJ accent. They had NY accents, particularly Staten Island, Brooklyn and east onto Long Island. Not surprisingly, there is just one girl on the show from NJ and she may be picking up her roommates' accents, but it certainly isn't native to her home in Hazlet, NJ. So, the first thing is, they aren't even from NJ.
The second thing is, Seaside Heights, which is where they're staying, is the absolute trashiest of all NJ shore points, so if you're looking for belligerence somewhere on the Jersey shore, Seaside Heights will surely attract them. I didn't even like Seaside Heights when I was 18 yrs old and still in HS. It was trashy to me then. That being said, they have gone an extra measure to find folks from NY to emphasize the point.
In truth, there really is no other area along the Jersey shore that even comes close to what Seaside Heights doesn't have to offer.
