Bart is interested in Grace, one of the school's most popular girls, and he thinks if he becomes a rock star, Grace might finally notice him. While Bart is tossing out the garbage at his part-time job, a very unconventional Genie emerges from the garbage can, rewarding Bart with three wishes. But after several missteps and some failed magic, Bart's plans start losing steam. Finally, Bart finds his own inner magic, and he and his friends become an amazing rock band playing all of their own tunes.

Sorry to Bother You ultimately speaks to the unfair advantages that the country’s power structures award to those with the resources to control others, as Lift’s easy access to the media allows his opinion to be the only one that matters in the eyes of the unsuspecting and easily impressed public.
