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 loved when ASMR videos have music in them. It just makes the roleplay or idea seem so well rounded

[@kingkiramusic]

I have a question E.R. Why does ASMR work better for me in the day time when im full of energy but it hardly works at night time when im in my bed?

[@sirerinkiestink4103]

KyronA it's simple. The Aluminium Alliance and Bubble Boys were mostly defeated, but the remnants still send out anti-asmr beams during the night to cause trouble, but not too much attention. Wear a tin foil hat.

[@nyhyl]

I'd say because it has to do with attention. Asmr needs the ability to be attentive and the sleepier you are the less you are able to concentrate. Your brain is dull and weak in other words...

[@arcurs5786]

Haven't watched the video yet, but hey Rift, can you do an "inaudible" ASMR? Not the actual inaudible or barely a whisper kind of thing, but more of the random noises like typy-typy, pita-pata and such. I don't think you've ever done that kind of video before.
