Blink 182 : The Meaning Behind ‘Neighborhoods’
Mark Hoppus explains the meaning behind the new Blink album title.
Mark Hoppus has been speaking to MTV News about the title to their eagerly-awaited brand new album, 'Neighborhoods'.
"As Blink-182 reformed, we came to realize that, as close as Travis [Barker], Tom [DeLonge] and I are, we are all very different people. With very different tastes," says Hoppus. "Travis just released a hip-hop album, Tom always talks about U2, Coldplay and the Police, and I listen to obscure indie rock stuff."
"We each bring a very different aesthetic, talent and sound to the band," he continues. "And in the differences between our ideas, the struggle and edge of all the different directions, is where the good things happen when we write together."
"So we're each like different neighborhoods in a city. Everybody in the world thinks of something unique unto themselves when they hear the word 'Neighborhoods.' To some it is a big city, others a small town, others suburbia, everything. The world is wide, exciting and very different. That's what 'Neighborhoods' means to me."
'Neighborhoods' is rumoured for release in September.
