Swisher proves his point as to where modern satire could have lost its bite and how it is no longer effective to us. Although he may have proved a good point these people are profiting from this satire more than ever before. Satire ridicules people or institutions to generate a change. With examples of corporate advertising along with talk shows and their guests he has proved a small point that satire can not be effective. Nowadays talk shows are seeming to end the world of satire with the ways they interact with politicians but it does produce a helpful change. The music world also brings about modern satire that hasn't lost its bite.

For instance, music, many popular artists use satire in their music to entertain their audience like Lilly Allen. Lilly wrote a song sarcastically singing about getting rich and famous with simple thoughtless music. The idea is that because she is poking fun at pop music her song is exempt from its own criticism which makes it so interesting. On account of her interesting song "The Fear", it took the number one spot on the UK charts from Lady Gaga's, "Just Dance". What made "The Fear" so popular is that itself is a pop song even though her song is poking fun at pop music (Interrante). Another example of satire that made music so popular is the song "Royals" by Lorde. Lorde's song Royals calls out pop directly, condemning celebrity culture's obsession with material possessions and image. Although she calls out "gold teeth" and "maybachs", and other less loaded signifiers like "trashing the hotel room" and "ballgowns" this brings attention to young listeners. Her boldness on the subject is refreshing and new to people of her age. Within nine weeks "Royals" was number one on the U.S. Hot 100. Lorde went out on a limb using satire but it pulled through in the end
