Rock is guitar driven, rough edged, has a rhythm and blues background, hard bass, strong beat, heavy imagery, and vibrant.
Pop music has a synthetic background, catchy, repetitive lyrics, easy to remember chorus, and often depends on the artists looks to make the song popular rather than their talent.

Jazz has complex chords and fast tempo rhythms. You either understand jazz or you don’t. It is America’s only original art form. Jazz has changed its face over the years. When people hear jazz, they’ll think it’s either a mess of notes, or the most beautiful phrasing in musical terms. Jazz is my first love. Bebop especially. Pop is a loose term really. It’s style has varied so much through the years that you can’t place it in one style. Rock is guitars, basses, and drums. Usually, the singer is very loud. Rock exudes a certain kind of rebelliousness and defiance.

That’s kind of a difficult question that takes a lot of study to really know the difference other than initial listening. Rock and Pop have their roots in Jazz music, but basically the difference has to do with chord progression, instrumentation, and other things. In Jazz you will find wind instruments (sax, trumpet, etc.) but not always, guitar (mostly without any distortion), drums, maybe keyboards, and bass (usually an upright). Rock uses guitars (mostly with distortion or other effects, drums, bass, and keyboards. Pop nowadays is heavily keyboard and fake drum based, relying on artificial sounds and heavy rhythms.
But, like I said this is a very limited answer since all 3 are intertwined together and share many of the same things.

1. Jazz is most complex and difficult to play of all of them. IF anyone can play Jazz…consider yourself very lucky!
Jazz is most experimental and free form of all of them too. Jazz is all about going places to new musically. Jazz has the most complicated, crazy odd time signatures of all them too. I mean you’ve got your 6/8 time and etc. You can really get lost fast if you’re not careful and follow along very closely to the rythyms. Jazz is very mellow of all too. I love, play and enjoy Jazz drumming as a drummer. But I cant listen to it for too long because it’s mostly Instrumental music. I love vocals too much in my music.
2. Pop is well….pop. It’s meant to sell a bunch of records like mainstream Artists do. Pop is ok…It’s standard 3/4 or 4/4 time stuff. Pop is mostly : baby, baby…I love you type stuff
3. Rock is very, very broad in terms of genres styles….
I mean you can go either : Hard rock, Progressive rock, Emo, Indie, Alternative, Goth, New Wave, Punk, classic rock, heavy metal , thrash metal etc. On and on and on…
