>video games
Simulates hunter gatherer activities and problem solving. Fills an important base need, especially if your workday consists of stacking boxes in a warehouse or helping old ladies carry shopping bags.

>watch anime
Fulfills various needs depending on series. Your brain has trouble telling the difference between real people and fake people, so it usually fulfills the desire for social relationships. Even romantic relationships can be simulated to an extent, as I'm sure everyone here should fucking well know. This is 4chan for fuck's sake, this should be obvious.

>cosplay
It's a ritual through which otherwise non-social individuals have a structure through which to interact with other people, mainly other non-social individuals.

>How do modern philosopher explain it?

All of these activities help satiate innate human desires that are otherwise not being properly fulfilled by modern society. As to why society is unable to fulfill that need, that's another question.
