I would correspond the Millennial and younger crowd to the feel good generation and schools. I think that most of the Gen X'rs of which I am one had to start showering after Phys Ed back in Jr High and High School and became comfortable with nudity amongst our peers. While this was not coed it did relax things a bit. Along with the social mores of the time exhibited in movies and theater, even though clothing would be considered more conservative than today.
Even after graduating University my daughter was shocked and embarrassed to see my wife her mother nude. While not an absolute I do believe this to be the norm.
Boys/Men of the Z Gen are hesitant to share a bed with another male of the same age because of what I can only presume is some level of perceived homophobia.
When My wife went back to College to refresh course prerequisites several of her GF's / Classmates were not worried at all about nudity going naked at the community pool for our housing development after dark.
My wife is the younger Boomer. (63)
I would be the Older Z (65)
And her classmates/GF's are younger Z's (70's)
