I don't disagree with that. Pop is a style of rock.

^^^ I like this guy!
What I will say though is that pop, in some of its meanings, is a style of rock. But pop is broader these days. It now, for example, is most commonly used to refer to urban pop/contemp r&b, which is more descended from hip-hop and soul. It would be silly for example to start calling Rihanna a rock act.
