As a result television and movies continued to depict them even when in contemporary settings. Even after the era of mass communal showers had ended in the mid 1990's, all the writers, producers and directors in media would have grown up when they were very common, even ubiquitous. I think media representations of communal showers, especially in school can really illustrate the cultural divide. stranger things also has shower scenes both in high school and YMCA settings (appropriate given its 1980s setting). More recently the campy mtv show “teen wolf” had many many scenes In the locker room since most of the characters were on a lacrosse team. The later Film “apt pupil” has similar scenes and also stoked controversy since the extras were also made to get naked. The later detail caused some controversy but remains in the film.

The movie Taps has a few shower scenes that the actors (including a young Tom Cruise and Sean Penn) filmed naked and also guys as young as 12. I also think the Wonder Years had a similar episode but I’m less certain. From there it takes an invasion of the body snatchers feeling as each of his friends first give in and then extols the virtue of getting clean and that it’s not a big deal. His friends initially share his fears and support him but gradually succumb to the practical appeal of showering after class (one Apon smelling his armpits drolly remarks that he could really use a shower). In it he tries to avoid doing so against the explicit direction of his coach and has his friends join him in a pact of refusal. The cult classic “freaks and geeks” had an entire episode revolving around the main protagonists fear of showering after gym class.
