This has been discussed in Larme and otome threads and I think the consensus was that it was some kind of feminist backlash that happened from around the end of the 80s and onwards where women didn't feel like they should have to dress feminine and girly. You'll notice that alot of Jfashion is so girly because it draws it's influence from western fashions from 1800s - 1980s when dressing cute or girly was normal whereas now women either just dress down in frumpy or hipster normalfag sweater/jeans/leggings mode or in a "sexy" (tacky) Kim Kardashian type of way. Those are basically the accepted norms now, dressing girly or cute is seen as either infantilizing women or ageplayish by normies, or just anachronistic.
