like, technically reggea, blues, zydeco, some EARLY jazz stuff, are all forms of folk music.
"pop" once meant little more than "popular". like, led zeppelin, madonna, and miles davis could arguably all be "pop", even if they all approach music in different ways. i mean, they all once, and still do reach a wide audience. wide audience = popular = pop.
pop doesnt just mean justin timberlake.

then the term "pop" is meaningless and should never be used, since any and all forms of music at one time become popular, and fall in popularity, and then become popular again. it is meaningless.
rock n roll is rock n roll.
