With the New Year fast approaching, MTV should have one resolution for 2012, to bring back music videos. Yes, the “Teen Mom” and “16 & Pregnant” craze is probably much more of a concern to the network than airing the latest music videos, but MTV’s roots are wrapped in music and thus deserve to be nurtured, much like the babies in these programs. So, MTV jump on the ShockYa bandwagon and turn the music video decline upwards for 2012.

What sparked this interest in a MTV switch was the news of a new album from The All-American Rejects, who have wooed audiences with their music videos for tracks, like “Dirty Little Secret”, “Move Along” and “Gives You Hell”. These songs helped erase the memory of Tyson Ritter’s role in “The House Bunny”. With the album, “Kids In The Street”, due out in Spring 2012, the Tyson playboy appearance will hopefully be wiped clean from Anna Faris fans’ minds.

In support of the release of their fourth studio album, The All-American Rejects have launched a, new site for fans to enter their own “Kids In The Street” inspired stories. You can submit your favorite moments in life or anything that expresses who you are, like photos, videos, interpretative dances, etc. Outstanding contributors will win an entry to a very special “Kids In The Street” event with the alternative rock outfit.

Welcome back The All-American Rejects! Hopefully you guys will force MTV to change its ways!
