Nothing more then entertainment? It's far more then that to many, especially the musicians themselves.

You can't tell me Tori Amos sang 'Me and a Gun' in a bid to entertain people.

But the rest of your post makes good sense. The way I read it, you were saying Pop music is like a foot in the door, giving the opportunity for people to see whats inside the room if they really want to. I can agree with that.
