There’s different types of stink and some are better than others and I’m pretty sure this is based on my own prejudice and preference as well as olfactory association being pretty powerful, but punks stink ans are known to, so do nerds. However, punks have a good stink and nerds have a bad stink. I’ve been a crustie for like 15 years now and also have ran merch at nerd conventions and punks have more of a deep fryer thst had cooked too many spring rolls kinda smell combined with booze sweat and an overall mist of weed and cigarettes and its more of an outdoorsy musky smell that I find kinda nice but admittedly probably cause I associate it with my pals and fun times. I can identify most of my friends by smell. Nerds have more of a stagnant indoors moldy stank, and sort of a chemical smell with it, either a cover up body spray that makes it worse by adding a chemical sweetness to their sour aroma. They smell like a gym locker that hasn’t been opened in years with the hint of pool chroline wafting in. Nerds smell nauseating.
Punks smell like rebellion, the sort of smelly nerds you’re talking about smell like misogyny and anime.
I dont tell people this because i am afraid but i only shower like once a week and im not stinky. Anytime ive mentioned this to anyone they say something along the lines of, “you just get noseblind to it” but the only people truly aware of my showering habits are my roommate and my girlfriend and they say im not stinky. When i originally started living with my roomate he outright asked me how i do not smell like shit. I still clean my dick regularly though because even if it isnt stinky it would be gross if i didnt.
Im convinced i dont produce the stinky chemical as readily as most people. Even after the gym i am not stinky. It makes my girlfriend mad because she wants to “smell my stinky” but anytime i sweat i end up just smelling like outside for a bit.
I’m of an opinion that your body attempts to find an equilibrium in relation to it’s enviroment. If you shampoo your hair everyday? Your body is going to overproduce hair oil. Wash your skin everyday with soap? Overproduces skin oils. Etc. Add in that everyone’s body is different and you run into the reality that a one size fits all washing routine is flawed. I know for my hair that shampooing it more than every month ruins it, and my hair is not greasy because water and conditior is enough. The main thing I’m trying to remove from my body is external dirt and piss/shit/cum.

So real
You have curly hair as well i imagine? I started showering less in highschool because i was trying to express my curls and it eventually reduced to once a week. In part because of executive dysfunction and but mostly because it made my hair look nice. Id wash my hair even less (it takes forever to get greasy) but i have a skin condition on my scalp that gets so fucking terrible after a week without medicated shampoo. Its probably for the best though, i shouldnt shower even less lol. Not trying to push those bounderies
I cannot overstate this enough, if you are using shampoo more than like once a week MAX, it’s too much. When you stop you will experience a graeasy hair week as your body is used to overproduction oils to make up for the shampoo but after that it’s smooooth sailing. I rinse with water twice a week or so and shampoo maybe once a month if that and my hair has been absolutely fantastic ever since. Like, I’m pretty hot tbh, but holy hell do I have fucking fantastic hair and I really gotta say the main player was not over washing it. My schedule is probably a bit light but my hair is dyed and I don’t wanna have it fade either. But yeah, daily shampoo is no good and once you’re past that threshold you’ll have way healthier and nicer hair and save shower time and shampoo money. I get fancy purple stuff to hold my bright ass hair color and a bottle last over a year.

Pretty much, this is what most people probably should focus on, and doing so for the most part smells and hygiene alike shouldn’t be an issue. I rarely use shampoo or conditioner, oftentimes don’t even wash my hair or let it wet (heavy water), and most of the time I’m not soaping down entirely, just where it’s needed (genitals and below, also armpits though mine don’t stink but it fits- sometimes the face as well but then I’m probs gonna moisturize after as I hate the feeling of dry skin and was raised w/ it as a habit).

Ah, uh oh… at least when it comes to one’s own face, one should took heed of that… I kinda learned that the hard way
That being said, other than that, I can see your point in that
a one size fits all washing routine is flawed…
You can’t smell of human stink if you’re constantly surrounded with the glorious aura of sweet fishy love.
