Is there a kind of "pop Buddhism"?

Similarly to [pop psychology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_psychology) , do we have the same effect for Buddhism? I have a feeling that many people subscribing to Buddhism because it seems to explain psychological phenomena that they (unfortunately) can't explain. It is also said that the Buddha taught the disciples in three levels, and in level 1 the goal is just to help the students overcome their problems in life, so I think this level is indeed pop Buddhism. Therefore I think pop Buddhism is a version of pop psychology. I wonder if my understanding is correct.
