The hippies of the 1960s rejected showering and personal grooming as bourgeois values. Plus, it differentiated you from all the squares.
Having spent some time in Europe I can tell you that stinky humans are no fun to be around. I'm told when you don't wash, you don't smell yourself, but I sure do. Plus if I go more than 2 days, I get overcome by non-stoppable itching fits all over. It just feels so good to shower. It's just warm and wet and eyes mostly closed - it's the closest I'll ever get to back in the womb.
That reminds me, I've been meaning to go to the public bath house forever now.
