What it comes down to is that there are multiple applications of the word "pop", and it comes down to context as to which one is which. Think of it like a homophone. The fact that it has multiple meanings doesn't make it a redundant word, it just means that it may apply in one instance, but not in another depending on context.
"Indie" is another word with multiple meanings which may or may not describe the sound of an artist depending on the context.
