Nothing went wrong, besides the low birth rate that inevitably plagues affluent societies.
Things only went 'wrong' if you're a neolib/neocon uniparty type capitalist whose definition of 'right' is a line indefinitely going up.
The reality, of course, is that 3 decades of stagnation isn't a big deal when you're a wealthy country already. Complaining about it is basically complaining about not getting richer, even though you're already rich.
If you want to see a country where things went wrong, the BBC should take a look in the fucking mirror, where we now have a nation that is literally coming apart at the seams because of all the foreigners and marxist enemies within - but hey, at least the line went up for a bit longer than Japan's did, huh?
Nothing.
