Lead-in to rock or Rocks (3)

I believe the answer is:

pop

(Other definitions for pop that I've seen before include "Explosive sound; drink" , "Palindrome of music for the young" , "Youthful music for dad?" , "'American Dad'!" , "Soft drink - father - music - light explosion" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
