I can't stand northern accents, especially new jersey!

    I don't dislike it but some of the northern east coast accents sound really angry to me. When I talk to them I have to remind myself to pay attention to words, not the tone.

    But the upper midwest accent is a bit quirky and they sound like they enjoy things more. Doesn't make it true, but it will color my first impression of a person.

    I'm from new York, yes we do sound angry all the time. Honestly it just amuses us, with both my cousin and best friend arguing is about 50% of our interactions but its all out of fun and endearment. If a new yorker is mad at you but has no reason to be he is probably just breaking balls and trying to have fun...either that or they just slipped out of a straight jacket.

    I am from new jersey but I don't have a new jersey accent. I don't really like it when people talk like that either but seriously not everyone from new jersey really has a jersey accent so don't assume that. (it's usually the trashy people who have that accent, but of course there are exceptions)
