"Plastic Pop" is an umbrella term for a band/musician/genre of so called "Popular Music" that lacks any real depth or merit, and instead emphasizes things like money, partying, booze, promiscuity or other mindless 'middle school' riffraff to gain an audience. These bands are often only successful because they appeal to young, impressionable demographics that are very high in number.
The use of the word "Plastic" in the saying is meant to be a statement about the fakeness/artificiality of both these musicians and bands themselves, and also the music they create, which is often filtered through programs like "Auto-Tune" to achieve an even more fake, "plastic" sound.
These bands, despite selling records and gaining popularity, almost always lack any actual talent and often overshadow less 'glamorous' bands who might actually be much better but don't have a 'gimmick'. Plastic Pop instead relies on strong marketing and very exploitable audiences to stay afloat.

The group of people that are so into their looking good that they go out of their way to sculpt every facet of thier image. They are usually the ones who go to the most expensive clubs and restaurants, and rarely are seen doing anything that can affect their image negatively. This term may also apply to people with excessive plastic surgery, generally fake people or those with a lack of personality (Just a pretty face).

Born into the lower or working class. If you were born with a plastic spoon in your mouth, you grew up riding public transport, eating food out of cans, begging your parents for a quarter, wearing bargain bin clothes and using the internet at public libraries...
Basically the opposite of spoiled; while not necessarily poor, you missed out on a lot of the experiences well-to-do suburban kids enjoyed. Nothing was ever handed to you, you know from an early age that life is not fair, and the only way you'll accumulate wealth is through hard work and sheer luck. You find comfort in knowing that you appreciate what you do have, not taking for granted that you are still more privileged than most of the world.
Nevertheless you can't help but envy those born into wealth who travel the world on their trust funds and go directly from school to yuppiedom without breaking a sweat or sucking corporate dick for twenty years before being promotes to regional executive.
