What is pop music? I mean, the Beatles are regarded as pop but people hate on pop all the time! They think it's only limited to Britney Spears. Doesn't pop just mean popular? Or did later the meaning changed and included people who can't play their own instruments? If so, pop stars have to dance when on stage so they make up for that, right? Can someone help me with this distinction? Are there subcategories in pop music just like there is in rock?

Britney spears was defently pop. Thats all i got ;)
