We are not like Japan. Hikikomori is sort of like incels, white privilege is sort of like primogeniture, and sexless youth is sort of a thing like there.

However, this country had teen movies like American Pie, The Girl Next Door, etc. that literally seemed to push the idea of a sexual deadline for youth. People mocked abstinence education and engaged in "the hookup culture."

Now scores of the male idols of that era - including Al Franken, who mocked abstinence education in his books - have been outed as perverts, while women of later in that era, like porn star Mia Khalifa, have publicly regretted what they engaged in. 

Japanese are obsessed with balance and order and their long lasting lack of significant population growth likely has more to do with that. This is the result of American society behaving like a strung out rock star. Like a rock star who has quit drugs but is still talking about and thinking about them, America is doing the exact same in regards to sex.

Japanese also have social restrictions that are so tight and clear that it may be constricting, but here we have been largely so unprepared for social problems, believing that we were the greatest and powerful country in the world, that when problems showed up, people just literally stopped talking to one another.

And, if anything, we may be witnessing the reverse of a revolution that was not always normative: 

There also was sexual liberation, which had something to do with women liberating themselves in the bedroom, too, but had as much to do with loosening norms around sex. In 1960, half of 19-year-old women who were unmarried had not yet had sex. By the late 1980s, as Nancy Cohen pointed out, two-thirds of all women had done the deed by age 18.
