Pop when you come right down to it is a reference to a songs accessibility to a comparatively wider audience than music from the same genre which it draws its style from.in other words You have Pop Metal and you have progressive Metal, pop punk and hardcore punk, indie pop and indie rock. Certain musical elements are often more conducive to a song being accessible such as simple and formulaic structure (ie. verse, chorus, verse, bridge, verse, chorus) upbeat tempo, short song duration, catchy melody & beat, non abrasive instrument timbres, and universally relatable lyric themes.
