I'm not really the one to judge since I haven't paid much attention to pop since the 80's. But, speaking as someone who likes rock, pop, jazz, and folk, I'd say that it doesn't hold the same interest for me that the greatest classical and baroque music does. I enjoy much of it, and there have been brief periods when I've tired of classical and listened mostly to pop, but overall I find that it's much simpler and lacks the expressive range and emotional impact of the greatest classical compositions.
I think different people draw the line in different places. It seems to me that as long as that's an honest preference based on an honest reading rather than prejudice, or snobbery, there's nothing wrong with it. The judgments I don't respect are judgments that are made out of prejudice, e.g., it's popular so it can't be good (or it's classical so it can't be good, same thing).
