Pronunciation: pop'-hi-merz

Sentence: Unlike Alzheimer's Disease, which is more prevalent in people over 65 years old, Popheimer's afflicts the younger set. It is brought on by a steady feeding of pop songs throughout one's day, with entertainment as the goal. In its advanced stages, victims lose the ability even to remember the redundant songs, so they provide an endless stream of them via ear buds and i-pods. In this way, they are able to avoid the realization that nothing of import moves through their grey matter anymore.

Etymology: pop music + Alzheimer's
