In academia, almost every genre is just lumped into "popular music". Strange as it might seem, the academic definition doesn't really distinguish between Britney Spears and Nile. So the genre labels used go something like this: Jazz, classical/art music/serious music, folk music/traditional. Can't really remember exactly how it goes, but basically popular music is that big hodgepodge of stuff from modern times that people actually listen to.
