Target Audience for Pop Music Genre

The first step to finding out what the target audience is for this genre, I Googled 'who listens to pop music?' 

Overall, most people listen to pop music as it is everywhere; TV, Radio, Bars etc. Pop was originally made for children to listen to before their music taste matures. However this taste in music can carry on into adulthood as pop music is over-played. The main reason adults/teenagers listen to pop music is because it is heavily influenced by celebrities and radio DJ's saying that this music is good and we as an audience automatically like this music passively. 

In my opinion, I think that the target audience for Pop music would be an age group of about 10-15 year olds. However, I do believe that this taste carry's on all the way to mature adults as we hear pop music all around us and passively choose to like it.
