1) A person of above average intelligence whose knowledge of current events is limited to what they see on MTV and VH1.
2) A person more likely to know the names of the past winners on Survivor than they are the names of the justices on the United States Supreme Court.

Pop culture sheep are those who use phrases and body language aligned with mainstream Hollywood. They are easily influenced by tabloidism derived from mainstream media and are unable to effectively research current events, objectively think for themselves, or be individuals.
Alice said CNN told her <insert bullshit CNN said> and went on a rant about racism in the US. I asked her if she verified that information by cross-referencing multiple news sources but she just dabbed and said, "I'm not about that life." What a pop culture sheep.
When a unique, independent individual usually between the ages 12-25 gets rapidly sucked into the empty void of what's popular among the masses. Symptons include, but are not limited to, owning an iPod Nano new generation, listening to Eminiem, Kanye West, Ke$ha, etc., believing autotune to be "talent," having the irresistable urge to shop at Hot Topic, thinking you're an epic fan of a band because you play their Guitar Hero song over and over again, and either being a Justin Bieber fan or a "hater" who says he's gay despite not evening have heard of him.
I recently lost my ex-best friend to Pop Culture Syndrom.

When you feel intimidated and irked either due to a lack of knowledge in trendy pop cultural/meme references, or from the fact that you probably have no interest in them. Usually happens when you're out with a new group of peers, and they be saying some memey phrase or sharing some pop cultural fad and you have no idea what it is or what it means (nor do you care). Likewise, this is also very commonly experienced on the internet, most notably in the YouTube comment section.
1) Jimmy felt very pop culturally intimidated by his girlfriend once he found out that she knew more pop cultural references than him.
2) Matt joined his new group of female peers to work on a course-related project. While he didn't have trouble socializing with them, he felt extremely pop-culturally intimidated by the odd memey phrases that their peers were tossing around and giggling about. Then, they started sharing pictures of Korean guys and went on talking about their favorite kpop star. "Stop. Please...", he wished to tell them.
