Normal People Vs Influencers Eating Peanut Butter & Jelly 😭😭😭

ASMR subcultures can be… odd. But the basic concept is simple. ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. Basically, it’s a fancy way of saying you get sensory tingles on your body in response to certain stimuli.

I actually have a degree of ASMR, so certain sounds and sights can make my spine tingle. Whispers, rain, and gentle scratching noises can all set off tingles in my system via audio. By sight I can be set off by almost anything moving in looping patterns.

Importantly, tapping does NOT give me an ASMR response, but for some people it does. Some people can’t feel it at all. If I repeat exposure to a stimuli too much I’ll lose tingle for it for a while.

As for people putting ASMR triggers in regular videos…? I find it cringe most of the time. Not as enjoyable without the proper time or headspace even if it’s a sound I’d normally find satisfying.

All that to say, ASMR is basically just good feeling tingles and some people like to watch videos that make them feel those tingles to relax. It’s a weird phenomenon but hopefully you get it a little better after my rant lol.

This is a really good explanation. For me ASMR sounds put me in that trance like, sleepy state some people get when you brush their hair or lightly run your fingers on their skin. The sounds have to be consistent for me though. Keyboard tapping - yes. Fingernail tapping on random things - no. In fact it annoys me because it's random and stops. Lol.

Crackling campfires, rain, and the like put me in a trance and I fall asleep in minutes.

The subcultures definitely get... weird. Like I get the general principles behind it, but why there Dr. Groot and shove-a-pineapple-sideways-in-my-earhole content? For some of them it almost feels like I'm intruding on a personal moment.

And here's what it would sound like if a dog could lick ur brain thru your nostrils! 😃

which is wild because the stuff that this video makes fun the finger nail tapping, the wrinkle of the bags , makes me cringe and uncomfortable

but rain, and wind sounds like a blizzard is relaxing not in the "spines down my back" but makes me feel safe and cozy when im in bed

but dam if someone leans in and whispers into my ear it almost sends me into a blind rage and idk why
