How do you convert a JQuery element into a string and access it using JavaScript's indexOf

Question

I have the following code:

HTML

<head>
    <meta property="article:section" content="Pop or Not" />
</head>

JS

<script>
  jQuery(document).ready( function($) {

          var metaSection $("meta[property='article:section']").attr("content");


          if (metaSection.indexOf('Pop or Not') >= 0){
              alert ('The is Pop Page!');
          }

  });  
</script>

The problem is that I think I need to that in order to use the variable I've defined I need to convert it into a string. Would definitely like some input.

This should work if HTML is ok

 var metaSection = $("meta[property='article:section']").attr("content"); if (metaSection.indexOf('Pop') >= 0) { alert('The is Pop Page!'); }

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <head> <meta property="article:section" content="Pop" /> </head>
