MIDI encodes very little information about timbre, which is a huge source of variation in modern pop music.

Program change + general MIDI instrument set is implementation-dependent but was pretty common in the 90s, and encodes timbre in an extremely limited way. Now of course nobody outside of fringe artists really use it.
