If the drums play a straight forward rhythm with the bass following along and guitars/synthesises adding texture and harmony.
If it has a verse and a chorus.
If it has its roots in the music of the early 20th century.
It's pop music

Swans is technically pop music, too. It's neither classical nor folk music
