During one of the main characters thought processes he says that more than anything he would love to be in the middle of a rye field rounding up children running about. Alot like the Pied PIper "the catcher in the rye."
First of all, it is "popular" because many American students are required to read it in high school. By that fact alone, the book is very well known.
As far as the content, The Catcher in the Rye is popular among teens because it touches on subjects of rebellion and alienation, themes that any teen can relate to.
Personally, when I read Catcher in the Rye I felt I could relate with the protagonist Holden's angst at the world.
The book is titled Cather in the Rye because when Holden gets older he wants to be the catcher in the rye. In this job, he would save kids from getting hurt ex) falling off a cliff (as used in the book).
The title is who Holden wishes to be. It is a commentary on the entire contents of the book - a troubled young man who (somewhat naively) just wants to be a "Catcher in the Rye".
When the protagonist's sister asks him what he wants to be when he grows up, he responds by quoting a lyric from a song about being a catcher in the rye. And that's how the book has its title.
