1. An acronym for "Popular".
2. A type of music which has been created in order to target a specific demographic which is most likely to buy the music; This is currently 8-16 year olds. Pop is really a sub-genre of many other genres (such as R&B, Punk, Rap), however songs are usually written using no more than four chords, following an "ABABCB" pattern of verse, chorus and instrumental. Also it is rare for a pop band to write their own songs, instead having their songs written by some Music College proffessional song writer. Another important part of pop music is image; generally, boy bands/artists tend to look "sexy" and like "bad boys", whilst girl bands/artists tend to be "rebels" against society. However, it is important to note that it is rarely what the artist/band is really like.
3. Bands of other genre's (e.g. Rock, dance) may become pop when they hit the mainstream. This is usually because they have been successful enough in their own genres for concert and album sales for their record companies to use them in the charts to earn a lot more money. The major differences between commercial pop bands and those which "find their way" into pop are that that they usually DO write their own songs, create their own image, even play their own instruments... but can relish in the fact that they don't have to. This music is usually much better, too.
4. Can be used as an acronym for genre's
5. A type of carbonated soft drink. Usually fizzy.

A gentleman who rides on the Marmite motorway. A pillow biter. Either a Quarter Back or a Wide Reciever. A botter.
Look at that gentleman he seems to be commiting an act of gross indecency on that other young chap. Yes, he is an arse bandit.

Widespread, ineffective insult globally used by townies, kevs and their offspring. Used as a counter insult by citizens with the I.Q of a bucket of sewage water (and the B.O of one)
Your mum originated, presumably, in the UK, which just adds another thing to the list that we'll be embarrased we thought of when we look back at this 10 years from now
Your mum is effectively dead towards punks, grungers, and emos, and ironically has been added to their arsenal of townie impressions.
However, mentioning 'your mum' to a townie or similar missing link of the gene code may result in serious bodily harm, so if you do have to insult them, use words with more than 6 letters to leave them stunned and confused.
