100% not. And it will depend on where you are from in Jersey. South Jersey v. North are very different.
NP here. How does the North Jersey accent differ from different parts of NYC?
Sopranos vs. Kelly Ripa
This is the wrong comparison for what PP was asking, but the right comparison for North vs South Jersey.
Outer boroughs NYC accents tend to be much stronger than NJ accents. There is also a class element here- working class folks have stronger accents than middle/upper class people. And the Sopranos even with the mob money are working class, isn’t that part of the challenges for Edie Falco’s character on the show?

My kids laugh whenever my parents say "wooder".

I grew up in central NJ and can tell you within 10 miles or so if someone grew up near me. It's a very distinctive place on the NY-Philly-Maryland spectrum. North and South Jersey are different yet again from that. You just have to know how to hear it.

+2.
I am from NJ and definitely have an accent. Although I’ve found that people tend to believe that the Jersey accent is how the Jersey shore crew talks- and they aren’t from NJ, but from the outer boroughs of NY.
Correct. Only one is actually from NJ.
My DH is from the middle part of the Shore and has no accent, but there’s definitely a North Jersey accent.

There is a NY-influenced accent, there is a Philadelphia-influenced accent, and there also is a mid-Atlantic-ish shore/rural accent.
