I hate that band with a passion, but from a objective point of view, i would say they are both... A common misconception with people today is that pop and rock are completely different genres, which isnt always true, rock music has its origins in pop music, folks like Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were rock n roll innovators, but they are also looked at as international pop stars, with some of the biggest chart toppers of all time... The Beatles and The Beach Boys are a prime example of the fusions between pop and rock, they have influenced both genres of music in some way... Even punk rock has its pop roots.
