Well actually, yes, if something becomes popular, you can put pop in front of it, no matter what the music is like. 'Pop' is short for 'popular', but the reason its affiliated with Brittney Spears etc is because that is what's popular.

Being different isnt what punk is about. I can think of a million different bands that are out of the ordinary, but arent punk.

From wikipedia. (they explained it best)

Pop "is designed to appeal to everyone" and "doesn't come from any particular place or mark off any particular taste." In musical terms, it is essentially "conservative" in that it attempts to resonate with a large segment of its target demographic rather than pushing artistic boundaries. It is "provided from on high (by record companies, radio programmers and concert promoters) rather than being made from below..." (Frith 2001, p.95-96). But over time, pop has gone from "popular in general" to "a genre" described as sounding musically similar to rap, but with singing. This is due to radio stations labeling themselves as "pop stations" taking heavy preference over certain sounds, tossing other popular bands who don't fit into the sound or other categories like rock into the "alternative" label.

Often used to describe the current popular genres of music of any given time, the term "pop" cannot be used describe any one particular style.
