I'm not sure if you're being factitious or not but, yes, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducts pop music. In fact, it is, by definition for pop music as it is a record of the music that has influenced our society through popularity.
The museum is great, and the idea of a HoF for rockstars is fun, serious and laughable. Cher absolutely belongs in it, but they only allow so many in each year... I do hope she gets in during her lifetime.
Not being facetious. I haven't ever paid attention to the rock and roll Hall of Fame, so I always assumed that it was rock and roll artists who were inducted into it rather than other genres.
That would be a fair assumption, but very incorrect these days.
It's become a joke that they leave out talented rock musicians and induct popular country, pop, and rap artists now.
Pop is a genre, an actual style of music, not simply whatever is popular. Sometimes using a word like 'popular' in a genre name is a bad idea
See also: modern art, and the unwieldy term 'post-modern'.
