What I mean by that is, is there some music which can simply be defined as "Pop" with no further description like "Pop Rock", or "Power Pop" etc.? Or can it always be further defined in such a way? Or perhaps the term Pop refers to "pop song format", such that many genres fit within "pop" or "popular music"? But it seems like it's used as a genre as well as being an abbreviation for the broader "popular music", and that's what I'm getting at here.
I just find that this term is ill-defined and I'd like to know how you use it. Here's a random list I made with a bunch of "Pop/Pop Rock" bands as arbitrarily defined by me. Comment or recommend any additions if you like:
