March 2024: Pop Culture Issue

When New Jersey Monthly decided to put together a special Pop Culture Issue, we wanted a cover star who represented New Jersey’s past, present and future. Nobody was a better fit than musician, producer and proud New Jerseyan Jack Antonoff.

He is one of the biggest names in music, not only creating his own unique sound with his band, Bleachers (and former band, fun.), but also helping to shape the sounds of other huge stars—most notably Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey—through producing and writing. He even joined Swift onstage during one of her massive concerts at MetLife Stadium last year.

In addition to our interview with Antonoff, you’ll also find a look at the 50 biggest moments in New Jersey’s pop culture history, a deep dive into the state’s live music scene, and so much more. Enjoy!
