How do country and pop music vary from culture to culture?

Sub Questions:
Do other genres of music feed into pop music? If so, what genres?
Do artists from different countries influence what is popular? If so, what are some examples and how many are there?
Does the sound of pop music sound different from culture to culture?
Does time period and mood affect how country sounds?
Is there actually one genre of pop music?

What I Already Know:
I know that pop music does differ from country to country. There are different sounds and instrument uses. I''m pretty sure that mood can affect what pop music is about and what it sounds like. Also, artists from different cultures and countries can affect how it sounds, but I don't know how many of our "popular musicians" are foreign.
