True...but the
are distinctions between Classical and Baroque, or Bebop and Swing, just as there are between Pop and Rock.
The way I look at it there's: 'pop or popular' which is as you describe it, any music popular with the majority. THEN there's: "Pop" which (to me) denotes a specific genre of popular music - i.e. Britney Spears.
Just to clarify...
