Pop music is a musical genre. And "pop music" (in a derogatory sense) is a collective term for frankly bad pop music. There are more than enough examples of this on the modern Russian pop scene. This is "pop music." And it also happens to be pop music. Although, sometimes even non-pop artists can be called "pop," and reasons for this are found.
"Metallica sold out, Metallica after '92 is pop!!11"
Exactly. That's exactly what I was talking about. It's as if someone read my mind.
