Question if pop music wasn't pop music

So,

Pop music, I find the umberella term a bit blurry in its definition compared to its application, it makes me all the more curious to hear your answers.
In a hypothetical situation where pop music on the radio was based heavily on a totally different genre (for example Jazz instead of dance music):

Do you think you would still love dance music as much/more than you do now? (remembering it is no longer in the charts etc)
Or if you don't like pop music - do you think you would like dance music more, now that it is not a popular genre?

Consider in this hypothetical situation that the same rules apply to how it became popular in the first place - i.e because it was/is popular with the masses.

(Please note: I am not bashing pop music in any way) Your answer can be as simple or complex as you see fit.. I think my own answer would be fairly complex but I don't want to have this first post boringly long ha
