'Our sex culture is being wiped out!' (NSFW)

Japan exhibition mourns fading sex culture
Inquirer.net / Agence France-Presse July 30, 2016
A sex exhibition smack in the middle in one of Tokyo’s hippest areas is shining a nostalgic light on Japanese erotica — a culture the curator believes is dying out.
Kyoichi Tsuzuki’s “Erotopia Japan” deals with Japanese sexuality and fantasies, the gallery located in the heart of Shibuya’s trendy fashion district plastered from floor to ceiling with eye-boggling prints, one wall dedicated to love hotel beds.
“This kind of Showa period (1926-1989) culture is being wiped out, as Japan is held to a global standard,” Tsuzuki told Agence France-Presse. “We might not be able to save it from being killed off completely but we can preserve it for posterity.”

Why can't Millennials culturally appropriate this part of Japan?

That guy Tsuzuki has long had an astute eye for the low-brow. Years ago I bought his coffee table book of photos of the interiors, which he released as an antidote to all those "Tokyo Interior" style books which photograph places like they are museums. He would turn up his friends' houses without warning and show life as it is. He has previously had a column in one of the weekly magazines with photographs of roadside oddities.
