Yes, but sometimes if the language is written with too much intricacy, or sophistication, it's ignored due to the effort required to interpret the message. Which doesn't make the message any less valid because complex melodic topics can't really be told in simple melodic language.

Mainstream Rock is definitely a variation of pop. Even if Led Zeppelin protested the radio, they definitely shaped their music around popular format.
