After nearly 30 years, MTV has changed its logo, and its place in youth culture. To promote this historic evolution, MTV is rolling out a twenty-four spot image campaign that embodies the changing spirit and attitudes of its newest generation of youth. The thirty-second image spots defy stereotypes and show how this generation, raised on the internet, is different from their older sibling or any other generation that has come before them. The campaign ranges from underground sub-cultures to personal stories; from a wave of diversified skateboarders to teen girls who don’t look up to celebrities to a pair of young DIY philanthropists with a global reach fueled by their facebook account. The campaign was shot over five days with two various camera crews in six cities. The spots start breaking on MTV mid March and will be releasing new spots every week. Music was provided by established artists OK Go, Peter Bjorn & John as well as up and coming bands and musicians just breaking into the scene.
