A lot of students introduce "pop music" as their favorite music. The "pop" in pop music simply means popular. So, in essence, "pop music" simply means "music that is popular". Do you think that "pop music" can be a genre? Or does a song belong to another genre and is then also popular? Do popular songs--regardless of the other genre they belong to--all have similar characteristics?
Consider how to argue in favor of "pop music" as a genre; then think about how to argue that "pop music" is not a genre but simply a description of a song's popularity.
If you say, "My favorite music is pop music," are you saying, "I like what everyone else likes"?
