It’s still uniformity. While the most productive and innovative countries wear jeans and a T-shirt Japan is still hung on presentation . Yes , the mask is a cultural norm now for many. It’s part of the uniform which indicates’I’m a good person’. It’s all quite dehumanising.

There are many factors at play I believe. Social anxiety disorders, avoidance personality disorders, depression stemming from school, culture, relationships and group dynamics.
Emotional immaturity is also a contributor. Self development will remain stagnant if one never thinks for oneself and is conditioned to always follow instruction.
Gaming seems to be a prominent feature. Perhaps it gives opportunity to make your own choices and decisions and be in control .
