commonly mistaken for being a shortened version of 'popular music', pop music is a term that applies to songs which use a pretty formulaic verse chorus bridge, verse chorus as the standard.. a rock n' roll song that hits it bigtime is still a rock song.. popular country tunes are still country tunes.. hip hop be hip hop. due to mass-corruption on many levels of humanity, pop's name has been spoiled--forever linked to (but not limited to) the latest top40 geared studio manufactured product pusher of the month.
fella #1: "did you watch conan last night?"
duder #2: "nah, too busy watchin'the music video station."
fella #1: "those music video's are nothing more than 3 1/2 minute commercials, played over and over until we know the words, associate that with liking it and buy the album."
duder #2: *singing latest madonna song in his head* "huh? whah? sorry, i wasn't listening."
fella #1: "record companys decide and let the music channels and radio stations know what the next hit single shall be. they can afford to do that sorta thing."
duder #2: "but kelly clarkson totally rocks!"
fella #1: "wrong. she will be gone shortly and forever erased from our memories."
duder #2: "who was on conan?"
fella #1: "broken social scene.. amazing band, proving that the pop music has room for growth, depth, and talent."
duder #2: "you gonna eat that?"
fella #1: "ugh.. take it." *hands over his sandwich*

The shittiest genre of music ever. Pop usually features talentless losers who rely on audio editing and autotune to sound half decent. For some reason, pop is extremely popular among American teens instead of real music, like rock.
Average American Teen: "Did you hear that new Bruno Mars song? It's pretty epic, no?"

Guy Who Appreciates Real Music: "Fuck no dude, Bruno Mars sucks, just like all pop music. Now excuse me while I listen to some REAL music."

something that requires no talent to make as it only uses cheap shitty computer software and some blond bimbo slut or some batty boy preppie faggot male to "sing" the shitty lyrics some cocklord named Bjorn from Armenia wrote.

In fact it shouldnt even be legally defined as music Call it Horrible Talentless Noise

pop music is written by no-talent persons and sung by bitches and losers like Janet Jackson. Mostly one pop music sounds just like the others because it was written by a drunken 19 year old asstard who took a music class in high school and think's he's the next David Bowie.
I listened to pop music for 3 hours until my brain imploded because of all the stupid sound-alike music and the retarded lyrics.
