What exactly defines pop music? Like artists who are considered pop: Lady Gaga, Backstreet Boys, Rihanna, Fountains of Wayne... Those artists are considered today's pop, whereas in older days, Frank Sinatra was considered pop. When someone tells me the genre of a certain artist is POP, I still have no idea what the artist sounds like.. Unlike if one says Country, or Jazz. There's a specificity to it.

That is true.
I can't believe people want to argue that Hip Hop is not a sub-genre of rock. Of course it is, unless you are speaking strictly of the street-level unrehearsed performance, then I wouldn't all it music at all. More like a performance art.
Soul/Funk/R&B are also subgenres of rock, but are usually not considered as such because the Billboard charts were segregated until the 80's. Country music has long been mainstream pop/rock with certain stylistic exaggerations.
Jazz (not that stuff they play on the radio), Gospel, Blues, Opera and classical, among others do not function nor are they presented in the same manner at all as Rock music.
There's more genres that that, But IMO, pre-written commerical music with distinctly solitary songs is Rock music
