But pop music itself is liked by most people, because the patterns in the melody and chord progressions are simple and easy. This means the brain can predict what comes next, and this is why pop music is liked, because it's predictable.

Pop music is targeted to music. Good job, bro.
Anyway, it
is scientifically proven that listening to predictable chord patterns increases the amount of dopamine produced, just like some types of drugs do. But pop music is, in fact, a genre (it even has subgenres), highly based on such chord patterns.. The term "pop music" is commonly used as a abbreviation for "popular music", though, which can include everything from rock to hip-hop.
