I swear I never heard of it before in my life until about two years ago, and since then everyone keeps talking about it.

Why is it getting so much attention? It's just sorta weird that it becomes so mainstream out of nowhere. You don't hear about other diseases nearly this much. Hell, even gamefaqs is giving me a warning before posting this topic not to use it in a non-clinical matter and not to use it as an insult (which I am in no way doing, this topic is an honest non-insulting attempt at getting information), where if I were to say "get cancer, jerkwad" nobody would bat an eye about it despite the fact that I'm using another disease in a derogative manner and gamefaqs sure as hell isn't warning me about using the word cancer.
