It is also an "obsessively neutral" statement that clearly went over your head. You did not understand the intent behind the statement. What it means is that the term "pop" cannot be defined according to some stylistic criteria, and that is in one sense true: the main idea behind "pop" is that it's some format that receives mainstream attention. In other words, it's blind to genre: it could be r&b, hiphop, rock, electronic/dance, punk or whatever - just so long as it is commercially successful.

That's in one sense. In another sense, pop can be stylistically defined inasmuch as it refers to music that gravitates towards attractive melodies/hooks, and fun/catchy instrumental and vocal arrangements.
