As the Rolling Stones are described as Pop and so are a zillion other bands, I think it would be hard to find anyone who did not like Pop.
So much music has been made and recorded and evolved that the terms like POP, Rock, and Blues, for example, are becoming less meaningful.
Boubacar Traoré (born 1942 in Kayes, Mali) is a Malian singer, songwriter, and guitarist. When someone asks me if I like the blues, he certainly does not come to mind first. If you don't speak French, you most likely never heard of him. He is considered a blues player but very different from people we are all more familiar with.
I am not sure if I answered your question or not...lol

New location, new environment, new music coming soon
Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
More seriously, I think most people would consider the music they like to be popular music, so I'm not sure what the definition of pop music is. And jazz players should be able to play on just about anything, and I've been asked to.

I think relevant to the question is how you define pop, as the definition seems to change every 8-10 years. In the late 0s when Debbie Gibson was one of the queens of what was then called pop, I was quite into her because for a kid she wrote good songs. Actually went to see her in concert because I knew she would have a killer band behind her. Madonna was once considered pop.
So give the relative difference in our age, allow me to ask what you call pop. Give me maybe 4-5 bands and I'll know where you are at. I may like pop as you define pop.

Yes, but please define pop from your perspective...
I think at least half of the stuff I have posted here qualifies as "pop" of one variety in that it is not country, rock, blues, or folk, but more "techno...", but that is not to say the other genres can't be pop as well...

Harry Connick Jr. is an interesting case. He’s so versatile. I think if you can classify him at all, which may be a mistake to do anyway, that you should use the band he created as an indication of what he would call himself. His band, with his piano and singing, is jazz.

Which one? They have had 10, 3 of whom are male. The one I met at a meet and greet was Mark Wood, a Julliard guy. I saw them perform 4 times and all 4 times happened to be during his 9 years with the troupe so he is the only one I ever saw with them. I CAN say that no matter who they use it follows that it is an outstanding player. He also owns Wood Violins. Bring your checkbook AND your credit cards... They start at about $2500 and as always, when you add "more" the price goes up. They make 4, 5, 6 and 7 string instruments, both fitted with electronics and without. He played mainly a gorgeous blue violin with a wireless transmitter built into the underside every time I saw him. During the meet and greet I said that I had seen the transmitter built into the body and asked if that was strictly an audio transmitter or if he was sending MIDI out to modules. And he smiled and said "Nobody has EVER asked me that. You must be a player yourself." And my reply, always the wise guy, was, "No. YOU play music. I play AT music."
If it was him that you had play, you may see that he looks a lot like Steve Vai. His wife is Laura Kaye, a great singer singer and a drop dead gorgeous model type who also runs the Electrify Your Symphony program with Mark, and in their spare time (LOL!) they run music camps. Quite a career package between the two of them.
It was so long ago, but I remember his first name was David...Friedman or something similar. They had several different touring companies, one that performed in Europe, one in the States, and another one for Japan and the Far East. I never met him, it was all via the Net.
If you define "pop" as what is currently popular on the radio, then I've rarely been into pop.
I haven't turned the radio on in my car or elsewhere for at least 10 years or more. I actually never listen to anything in the car. I find it annoying.
I've never really liked much of what the general public wants to hear. You'd have to go back to the 60's or 70's for me to care much about pop.

Same here with only one exception. My car radio is set for 60's - 80's oldies, jazz, and classical music. I like the radio on while driving.
As far as music there are only two kinds; songs that I like and songs that I don't like, regardless of genre or singer/band. YMMV

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

I couldn't go pop if you put a firecracker in my mouth Randy Travis
Everybody wants a definition ... why not just look at the charts?
FWIW, I think technically whatever currently generates hits is pop music. And generally irrespective of genre those hits nowadays are more, but not totally, based on loops and electronica, etc. than pop music from a decade ago.
And again, FWIW, to my old ears pop can range from engaging to awful...but I felt that way about it 50 years ago
