Behold, almost every pop song ever.
This type of post really pisses me off.

If pop music is so simple, where's your effort? The internet's made it quite easy to get a good pop song out there, so do it.

Arm-chair critics sit here saying how it's so simple, but there's an art to writing a great pop song. It involves dynamics, lyricism, the correct application of hooks, time signatures that carry the listener's attention, melody, production techniques... there are so many elements that go in to making a great pop song, yet of course people will pass it off as easy because it isn't 'rawwwwwk'. Writing a decent pop song is not easy.
