Blink 182's New Video For 'After Midnight'

Blink 182

  Blink 182 aren't known for taking themselves seriously.  There videos are usually over the top and crazy like in the video for 'All the Small Things' where they make fun of the popular boy bands of the early 2000's.

  In their new video for 'After Midnight' they take a darker turn.  Mark Hoppus told MTV News, "the video takes place in a psychiatric ward, and this guy and this girl escape from their rooms and have a night of romance and passion and fun and wild excistence..."   He also says the video didn't come to them right away.  "We went through probably 30 different treatments for this video, and a lot of them were great, and a lot  of them weren't so great but [director] Isaac Rentz's stuck out as a really cool idea." he says, "We wanted it to be something different than just a bunch of people having fun and having a party; we wanted it to be a little darker, a little more troubled, and Isaac's treatment did that."

   'Neighborhoods' is Blink 182's sixth studio album, their first album of new material in eight years.
