What constitutes a legitimate cultural reference?

[edit]

Numerous cultural products make reference to nj in passing. For example, the television programs Queer Eye for the Straight Guy or T loves Coco are set in NJ, but are not known for making substantial references to or comments about the state.

To qualify as a bona fide example, a cultural product should intentionally make an attempt to portray something about the state of nj , such as its socio-economic realities, inhabitants, geography, mode of dress, lifestyle, accent, notable event, or behavior. or it should communicate or portray aspects of new jersey life, culture, or geography, among others. a given reference to or portrayal of life in new jersey may be very brief - and many are; the issue concerns whether there is an intent on the part of the creators to reference new jersey. of course, it is possible that a bona fide new jersey reference could be unintentional.
