What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

"I'm not trying to make myself look good. I already look good" Ephemeral Rift 2018

[@Georgejaffin]

Mjgirl55 I was just watching then I scrolled a little and landed right were he said that

[@syncopatedglory]

*i n c r e d i b l e.* i wasn't sure it was a real quote, but yup. i'm happy he knows he's not 😍

[@connorman011]

Isn’t it really fun when it’s 1:30 in the morning, and your tryna fall asleep to some of this and when you click on the video you get an insidious movie trailer. 10/10

[@itsdylanjenkins]

That beginning threw me off guard. Big time. All I could do was just sit there and smile.

[@KilurDragon]

FaKe Panic your smile is worthy of a thousand baby bottoms

[@exploringwithasmr]

THE MAN WHO IS SURE TO CONTINUE TO BRING US AMAZING VIDEOS IN 2018!

[@sharpasmr2840]

Exploring With ASMR here here!

[@scruffyrobot6969]

Can we all agree this man deserves 1mil subs, he is so creative and his videos are always fun enjoyable and relatable, also just makes me so relaxed

[@morgangobin9985]

My personal resolutions: 1. Get outside my box 2. Continue old hobbies I’ve forgotten about (drawing, writing, piano) 3. Start new hobbies I’ve wanted to try (film, other random artsy things) 4. Stay connected with all my friends and family

[@DaTurdburglar]

Morgan Gobin basically mine as well!

[@KilurDragon]

Oh oh oh, please pick up the piano and then upload videos on a key everyday? So me and countless others can learn how to play.

[@morgangobin9985]

Dragontammer Dragon I wish I was good enough to do that! I only learned a few songs and I haven’t practiced for a year, so I’m by no means qualified. Although I did try my hand at “Music of the Night” again today and I’m impressed at how much I remembered.

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

Good luck!

[@mattu.8062]

Solid!

[@aureliarr]

New Years resolution: grow a beard like ER

[@User18dog]

Beard ain't even that good tho

[@laurel953]

This may be terribly off topic, but is your real name Aurelia? My name is Laurel, and I've always loved the name Aurelia (as my name is a derivative of it). Just curious. :)

[@adeadchannel4129]

Lol I would actually try that. But I can't grow one. So :/

[@phazebeast7373]

I wannna beard too

[@aureliarr]

LaurelFlowers yep that’s my real name :) but Laurel is also very beautiful

[@Seannn2602]

New Years resolution: Watch more ER. That’s it. Thank you.

[@KilurDragon]

SeanHKG Whoo! I like this person. You all see this?

[@slopely]

100th like!! :)

[@sharpasmr2840]

MOAR!

[@hanna_maria]

You opening up about what helped you with your depression was really brave and helpful and I'm proud. Thank you for being awesome and caring.

[@rolfdyck5896]

Im facing serious mental and physical health issues due to heavy drug abuse with my girlfriend of 2 years who just left me alone in these times. I lost my job and can barely manage everything as it is right now. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for being you, your videos really help me get through these lonely nights

[@PeterFerr]

Rolf Dyck Sorry to hear that - i hope you recover! I'd recommend taking up a hobby and make a project out of it, when you want to use force yourself to work on your project

[@dreamer.4]

Awesome to hear that you're working on getting back on track. I hope you can make progress in 2018, wishing you happiness!

[@rolfdyck5896]

Thank you guys ive picked up exercising so far im doing as good as i can :)

[@lofibaysmrxoxo]

I've been watching him for so long how does he not already have over a million subscribers. He's so creative and talented, on top of being good at ASMR. I hope this year is a good year for you ER.

[@Meef4618]

Yo😂😂 that first part had me dyin

[@KilurDragon]

Juan Trump do I need to revive or send Mercy for you

[@user-ho1ih1uj6w]

Dragontammer Dragon plz no OW references

[@noahalperin6174]

My resolutions: 1. Get over social awkwardness at times 2. Improve grades for college 3. Talk to my family more 4. Play less video games and spend more time playing baseball 🙏🏻 Praying I am strong enough and healthy enough this year to complete these.

[@endurableplanet4793]

Random Random why can’t you compete?

[@textiles9562]

Random Random i like them but SCREW THAT LAST ONE.. I WANT U TO SIT UR ASS DOWN AND GET AN XBOX ONE X, A GOOD DAMN GAMING PC, A NINTENDO SWITCH AND LITERALLY EVERY OTHER GAMING CONSOLE AND PLAY SOME GOD DAMN VIDEO GAMES

[@user-gm3zv9sy8d]

Don’t pray DO IT YOURSELF

[@MedievalSolutions]

My new years resolutions 1.Don't use any "recreational" drugs. 2.Stop drinking so much alcohol. 3.Eat better... healthier food, not so much fast food and stuff like instant ramen. 4.Exercise... after years, doctors finally gave me a green on lifting weights, so I better start catching up. Also a disclaimer, I normally don't have new years resolutions, but a recent event led me to make resolutions in early december... Making it official makes me feel more pressured to do it.

[@dermikadomampfer3198]

Richard Decker Good luck, I hope you can do it. Believe in yourself, my friend!

[@Dkplayesvideogames]

Why did 3. Eat into a link?

[@dimentbarg9793]

3.Eat 3. Eat

[@dimentbarg9793]

Dont take huge steps. Youll fail. Instead I recommend buying a phone with step calculator and making it a habit to walk everyday. Then start doing more

[@MedievalSolutions]

on thanks for the advice

[@drobyn7626]

Thinking of having that opening engraved on a locket

[@JWNLGamer]

My new year’s resolutions: 1. Start hitting the stage with my music, and before that, finishing and recording songs I can be proud of! 2. Start doing research into new hobbies I’m very interested in (writing, ASMR, (3D) Animation) and breaking the barriers that are holding me down and just doing it 3. Eating healthier throughout the day (MOAR FRUITZ N SHIT) 4. Keeping my mind clearer than a clouded fucking mess of thoughts, staying organized and calming the fuck down 5. Not failing school 6. Not dying/ending up jumping off a bridge or smth 7. Trying to just take more care of myself and my family and friends 8. Enjoying life more, taking opportunities and risks that might or might not benefit me, learning from my mistakes and changing along the way. Happy late 2018 boiz :)

[@inthe.nikoftime]

JWNLGamer most of your resolutions are actually really simular to mine. I hope you'll accomplish everything!

[@JDM2498]

I'm with you on that first one brother. We're gonna grab 2018 by the nuts

[@billnyethesuicidalguy7874]

JWNLGamer no one gives a fuck

[@Kazwell96]

oh nice, what kind of music do you do. a resolution of mine is to branch out and collab with artists and to try to get on some more promotional labels. i primarily do melodic dubstep, future bass, electronica, and house :3

[@JDM2498]

Kazwell I'm trying to pioneer a fusion of the new wave SoundCloud rap with UK hip-hop. It's been well received among my friends so far but I haven't released anything myself. I'm hoping to try and build up my fanbase a bit this year and see if I can get in touch with some labels.

[@ruki4929]

New year resolution: stick to a schedule I've made forever ago now. It's a pretty small daily schedule, but it's all the little things that I'm hoping builds up to a better self overtime.

[@hfreanzr5444]

Who else thinks Ephemeral Rift should do an SCP video?

[@thejubilantjoker]

Planet SoiL SCP Arkham Division...

[@KilurDragon]

Planet SoiL Me! I because that someone once suggested that maybe about 2 years ago a year ago and he has like the idea but we're here and he still hasn't made a video of it yet

[@PrimitiveMjolnir]

Planet SoiL if I’m not mistaken a lot of his characters are based on SCPs so even when he isn’t explicitly crediting any SCPs, his videos are about them. Corvus, for example, is based on SCP like 050 or 049 or something, which is a plague doctor.

[@panduh8932]

Jingram whats scp

[@frankfurhter]

Panduh Internet much?

[@ryadmane]

Happy *H E C K I N G* new year.

[@federal_europe]

Raeming stop swearing on this christian server

[@TonyJames1993]

Greatest opener in the history of ASMR

[@aaronclark8673]

Hey Uncle E, is your son ever going to make another video? I actually liked his impersonation of you and your conversation with him.

[@professionalcommenter483]

When did his son do a video? Did I miss something?

[@midgetbills]

a while back, off memory maybe a year and a half ago...

[@professionalcommenter483]

av op do you maybe have a clue what the topic of the video was?

[@aaronclark8673]

Tris X it was his 1000th video

[@morgangobin9985]

Tris X It’s called “THE DAY I HIJACKED MY DADS CHANNEL”.

[@mawe1029]

18:28 That's such a great attitude to have, Ephemeral. We need more people like you in this world.

[@sohstp]

1. Don't kill myself. 2. Stop fucking up. 3. Stop feeling nothing.

[@bookmulch7379]

4. Realise it's not worth it and go back to step 1 again

[@revolution277]

Bookmulch Forthegame lmao😂

[@andrewnimmo8010]

I might manage the first and second one, but the third one is fucking impossible for me

[@ventura2432]

+Phoenix D-K we're in this together

[@rolfdyck5896]

We're all in this together, lonely and suicidal

[@TheHornet79]

1) Get shredded and reach 180lbs (currently 154) 2) Be Fluent in spanish 3) sing and play guitar professionally 4) Finish all my books and finish the bible in a year 5) Land a career and live on my own 6) Be more confident 7) Spend more time helping others

[@metalskeleton569]

The Bible isn't something you just finish like a video game. It is something you should dwell on throughout the day, like some girl you may think about. And it should be read according to your needs at the moment, like say you had a bad day and now you read Genesis and you are eternally depressed. It should be a more frequent thing. Spanish is pretty easy but I prefer Russian because it is more traditional and authentic. Good wishes, help people, best of luck and God Bless

[@parkerbradshaw4122]

MetalSkeleton56 How the fuck is one language more "traditional" than another

[@metalskeleton569]

Parker Bradshaw I meant more like a traditional country’s language.

[@jordan95hd83]

I haven't really got a New Year's resolution to be honest... But I wish you (Ephemeral Rift) and everybody else Happy New Year, and I wish you all the best for 2018 ❤!

[@Insomnia117--]

Someone give this dude a fucking medal. Ive been watching your videos for awhile now and everytime its either relaxing, inspiring, or just in general...good. Keep up what your doing man 😊🤘🤘

[@prepperpov5852]

Hey, Paul! Thanks for what you do! I’d certainly like to see another video of you with Phoenician Sailor! You guys rock! One of my goals for this year is to make more ASMR videos!

[@KilurDragon]

The Silencer you make ASMR videos oh my gosh that's so cool

[@prepperpov5852]

Dragontammer Dragon the type of shit that makes the hood go crazy

[@morgangobin9985]

The Silencer One of my goals this year is to START making ASMR videos. We’ll see if I get to it.

[@charliejupiter3751]

Rift has been in my life since I was in 7th grade, I'm in college now. Uncle E you've gotten me through hard times and though we will never meet you'll always be one of my best friends.

[@asmrunknown3406]

The addition of the Fire really added to the video Rift, phenomenal work yet again!

[@sittingturtleduck]

this year's gonna be big for me. i have a feeling the worst of my mental illness-related suffering is already over...at least for a while:)

[@sittingturtleduck]

im a germaphobe i hate baths lmfao

[@KilurDragon]

Julia Therrien XD 😆

[@Samsungsamsung-ec5gl]

Good, I hope this for you too!

[@bumblybee333]

Cheers, Julia! I hope you have a fantastic 2018 (and every year after). ❤

[@professor_n]

Think of the term "mental difference" instead of "mental illness" and then practice utilizing those differences to your benefit :)

[@BriRog68]

Love the nice fire ! Thank you E for all you do...when at times the cellar door is trying to open just remember you are loved and very appreciated, and most important you're making a difference in many lives. 🥇👍

[@rerol]

Intro like Bill Burr

[@ballabogan]

D'oohhhh Jesus

[@shxar_gxnius]

Alright settle down lol

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

Me on December 31st -Writes down "getting a girlfriend" in the resolutions list *laughs*

[@andrewnimmo8010]

I literally did the same thing. I also wrote “pay the bills”. That made me let off an even louder laugh

[@matt5g]

GioGio that was my entire resolution list last year

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

Spider Venom Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you

[@ndmedia3531]

GioGio he literally just said ok? What's so bad?

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

iiviperz _ Seems to me like one of those "Nobody cares" ok's. I mean my comment was pretty stupid and unnecessary so I get it.

[@masonhill5368]

You know it’s gonna be great when he starts this off with “happy fuckin’ new year”.

[@Lucianato2]

Nothing brings a smile to my face more than starting an ASMR video with a heartless retort! :) Not kidding at all! Thanks Rift

[@aboldone4264]

New year resolution #1 to not forget my resolutions by next Tuesday.

[@lucentmadness1316]

Hahaha the story of the fireplace being crap made me laugh. It has taken me a long time to find a favourite ASMR creator. Thank you for your awesome content!

[@chaincyclist2736]

I'm all giddy and can't sleep. I'm going to try to rekindle an old relationship I had with someone and it's got me excited. So, to keep me calm, I'm chewing some gum and watching your videos. Thank you.

[@adamjazzar4560]

Who agrees 2018 should be the year where youtube gets its shit together and allows you to play videos outside the app?

[@scientomagician7242]

Adam Jazzar and actually care about the creators and the actual community not children that shouldn't be on the Internet anyway. Sorry needed to vent a bit

[@rustbuster69]

Sciento Magician what

[@scientomagician7242]

Sound_of_silence, they're trying to turn KZbin into a child friendly site even though you need to be 18 to make an account and theres already a youtube kids app.

[@rustbuster69]

Sciento Magician that has nothing to do with this mans comment

[@gregd335shot9]

For free

[@noahnordengren8396]

Rift, combining swearing and ASMR to make the video surprisingly relaxing. Always enjoyable, yet weird content.

[@hojofan]

Happy New Year's ER!! So glad to hear that you have been able to deal well with your depression.

[@jessieFSD]

You should do a smoking weed asmr since you hit 420K

[@norfsideshxrty9534]

FasterSpinDash But he didnt do a 69 position asmr when he hit 69k.

[@absurdistsloth]

Quantum Physics well he arguably should have. that's a missed opportunity right there

[@Detura]

lol yes

[@kevinwagner49]

Lol i like wasting my money too. Dont you?

[@anthonydemauri4095]

FasterSpinDash sadly its not legal in PA yet 😞😞😞

[@abbeylouu]

I've never seen one of your videos before... I don't know how I wasn't here sooner! I loved this!

[@jakewatchoutforsnakes7039]

You are the best, helped me many nights bless you.

[@snkerdoodles]

You know what? That’s the nicest greeting anyone has ever given me.

[@SongbirdAliWhispers]

Video starts and I'm lol'ing within the first minute and then tingling the next. I'm down for this rollercoaster.

[@mesCheerios]

i don't have an addiction to video games but i think it makes complete sense. It is, not a completely, but almost completely immersive experience. One of the more interactive forms of escapism. I think the brain needs a break from the difficulties of everyday life sometimes, but it is hard to balance working on your real problems with a bit of fun. That's KIND Of the basis of every addiction

[@parisgamer852]

Just wanna throw this out real quick, your website is awesome. My next pay cheque this week will definetly go towards buying a few t-shirts and sweaters 👍 Thanks as always for the killer content Uncle-E 👏

[@travisgiard6018]

I too am addicted to video games especially bloodborne and dark souls and would play from 10 am to 4 in the morning. Thank you ER for all your videos

[@joehiles6517]

Watching your videos are what’s eating up my sleep time...just a sacrifice I’m willing to make!

[@seamusdoyle4884]

I am so glad to have you brighten up my day, Paul... Congrats for the mlg 420k subs, btw ❤💓

[@diogenoff]

I was crying first half of the video. Thanks ER.

[@RayhemXD]

My resolution is 1920 by 1080

[@deadangel03]

...

[@ntWill29]

->[EXIT]

[@Irishbomerz]

I enjoyed that well played my dude

[@alliesakat]

2960x1440

[@XxxFoxionzxxX]

This was really great, I loved the mentor-ship you showed. Might be interesting to see a Father-Son ASMR sometime.

[@derekdevita5721]

i love how ER is so relaxing but also randomly swears and is so funny. Like the fck mayo video and tons of other videos make me laugh while the power of *RELAC* kicks in.

[@dtjackson1647]

Your beard makes you look like Phoenician Sailor.

[@KilurDragon]

DT Jackson I think they're either brothers or something

[@taylorjudge4506]

Dragontammer Dragon brothers in arms maybe

[@Bronzescorpion]

More like brothers in ASMR

[@swaggaming69420]

Søren Hougaard Rasmussen comrades in arms

[@Peacemakerblue]

What’s that from?

[@shegyderkeller9013]

i love that fucking beginning.

[@KilurDragon]

My New Year's resolution is to love myself

[@alexsch17]

"Even though I look like a BURNT chicken nugget, I still love myself"

[@davegsux]

mine is stop hating myself lol

[@kentucky_188]

Putting the fire in the background was a fantastic move

[@escaflownesc2692]

Thank you very much for your passion and brilliant ideas, deserves respect. Happy new year Mr.Rift.

[@MrMisterrossie]

'Happy fuckin New Year' , this guy is pure gold

[@SupersonicChip]

Happy New Year ER! Looking forward to this year ahead and all your asskicking deliveries!

[@LuciusPepega]

My new years will be filled with ASMR by E.R or by other ASMRtist.

[@Georgejaffin]

Can’t get better than the beginning

[@garyhitschen5523]

New years resolution: Bring class consciousness to as many friends as possible

[@johntraviolta6236]

I'm battling addiction with ASMR videos !

[@ventura2432]

thats good

[@mikewill5097]

john traviolta lol good one

[@dimentbarg9793]

Alex Jones yes

[@dreamer.4]

awesome!!! keep up the good work!!

[@carbarcup]

that nose high light tho

[@nintendofire622]

I NEVER KNEW THAT ER WANTS TO PLAY ZELDA, DAMN THAT MADE ME HAPPY, on a sadder note though, I really needed this. I'm having a difficult time with my relationship and me and my girlfriend agreed to take a break because we've fallen into a rut. I'm hoping to reinvigorate ourselves afterwards. Thanks for this, though, ER.

[@jinmugatu]

"not for selfish reasons...i don't people to not die so they can keep watching my videos...i just don't want people to die." hahah I'm a huge fan of your videos btw and I wish you the best year and hope you don't die ;)

[@mr.baldzher5193]

Oh. Hello. Happy ＦＵＣＫＩＮＧ New Year:)

[@scottsthoughtschannel9538]

Awesome Stuff!!! Happy New Year to you too!!!! I hope you are doing well too.

[@PresObama]

*THE MAN THAT NEVER RUNS OUT OF IDEAS*

[@LyricallyWine626]

This is going to sound odd..but the casual use of curse words actually intensify the ASMR experience. Idk it's like the video sounds more "down to earth" or "genuine", it's different from other videos in the sense that it doesn't feel like an act so to speak. Idk how to explain it. As always, amazing video & I wish I saw this sooner. Thanks Uncle E!

[@martinek643]

Always a pleasure!

[@baki2275]

Was the letter for logan paul

[@nexn9932]

Tremontiislife LOOOL

[@phazebeast7373]

The man who doesnt run out of ideas ephemeral rift. .asmr ideas for E.R = asmr skydiving, asmr yoga, asmr nascar race, asmr hockey .asmr hunting , asmr time travelling. Some ideas ☺😂

[@macacoosnofa]

[@KilurDragon]

Samuel Grady OMG yes

[@asmrgravitonglow]

Hugs from Germany :) I hope you will have a good and happy year! 😘

[@andyziggy]

"Happy Fuckin' New Year" -Paul

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

"if we could make cows pets, or chickens pets, then we wouldn't eat them, right?" Actually...we had like 12 chickens a few years ago...i could never even think about eating them, but had no qualms about eating store-bought chicken in the mean time. It's not about what meat you eat, it's where it comes from....and some other ethical bull people could come up with. And those were only the chickens...when one of them had a clutch of eggs, two roosters were born from it, both of which were so aggressive and unruly we had to put them down. My mother cooked them, but i just couldn't even bear to look at the meal purely because they WERE pets...only time i refused to eat poultry in my life...

[@mattcrafted2292]

Not even a minute in and I love it, amazing.

[@richardthered3772]

UNCLE GIVES MY DREAMS WEED EFFECT AND ITS AMAZING

[@pikabamboo4175]

[@ruach12355]

Happy new year, ER.

[@sadpepe4641]

“Happy Fucking New year! How the hell are you?” Beat catchphrase ever!!!

[@tiredcirrus]

King of ASMR 🙌🏻

[@jackdyer4440]

I try to relax and go to sleep but then ER starts swearing and I start laughing. Don't ever stop my dude.

[@Itsaramis13]

This video was such help... I really needed this. Ty E.R.

[@GamingMattStyle]

Thanks for making this video mate. Speaks to the heart :)

[@dualpersonamadness3976]

I look away for a moment, turn bacl and all I hear is, "Happy Fucking New Year"! Hot damn!

[@affyre]

Best intro ever.

[@lotusfae]

"Happy fuckin' new year. How the hell are you?" If I weren't subbed already, I'd have subbed right there. Happy 2018, E!

[@prepperpov5852]

Writing your will at the beginning, I see.

[@andrewnimmo8010]

[@ParkerMaeAudio]

"That's what's in McDonald's hamburgers...kangaroo meat" lmao i died

[@Nickersons-Theme]

Legit the funniest start to a video hahah

[@Oofboi967]

Just finished all my homework and I had dinner. (Goes on youtube) oh look Rift posted a new vid. I guess I'm goin' to sleep at six thirty.

[@PokemonMaster2456]

These ideas he talked about gave me a good idea to write a book, especially about the religious dogma induced on children. Thank you Ephemeral Rift.
