Obviously the term pop can sometimes used in a derogatory manner. It's true, we do it all the time here, but despite that fact it's also a genre and a fair and accurate adjective to show how an artist sits within the collective taste of the culture at large. This is where the term pop culture gets its lemony zest; Pop is short for popular and The Beatles certainly were, although I would definitely agree that I'd call Tomorrow Never Knows a psychedelic song before I called it anything else.
