While originally it was defined solely as merely meaning popular music, the term has evolved, with a second definition.
This newer use defines mostly mainstream music. Catchy, simpler rhythms, repeating chorus, minimal (or no) guitar, heavy drum beats, streamlined lyrics that don't really have a deeper meaning, and so on. Acts such as Britney Spears, Lily Allen, late 80's/early 80's-on Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, and the like... would not be categorized as rock, hip hop, R&B (while a common element of pop music), metal, blues, or anything else... it would be categorized as "Pop Music". It is a genre as well as a term referring to music that is popular.

Get the musicnazi mug.Musical cock is a game played by a group of people (usually gays), often in an informal setting purely for entertainment such as a birthday party. The game starts with any number of players and a number of cocks one fewer than the number of players; the cocks are arranged in a circle. A non-playing individual plays recorded music, while the music is playing, the players in the circle walk in unison around the cocks. When the music player suddenly stops the music, everyone must race to sit down in one of the cocks. The player who is left without a cock is eliminated from the game, and one chair is also removed to ensure that there will always be one fewer cock than there are players. The music resumes and the cycle repeats until there is only one player left in the game, who is the winner.
Frankmusik was having such a good time playing musical cock, he couldn't fly back to the UK for his concert
