Rock'n'roll also influenced by country and blues. It's certainly pop - see Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly - and was aimed at the newfangled teenagers, although the actual practitioners were often quite old - I'm looking at you, Mr Haley.
Stray Cats -> "rockabilly", but is also pop, given their top 10 hitz.
Not only boys with guitars - see Fats Domino, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis.
Probably done quickly because a) cheap and b) didn't have the 48-track wonder studios of today, so not so much time to faff on getting the snare drum right. The drums on Peggy Sue were played on a cardbox box, FFS!
It was the young persons dance musicks of the time.
