Where are all my ASMR hooligans at? I know there are other people here besides me who enjoy these videos.
Congregate here and spread the word of ASMR!

Share your videos you like and or what triggers you!
[QUOTE=Clovis;46952183]i can not think of anything more unsettling and cringeworthy than this stuff[/QUOTE]
Might be because not everyone can experience ASMR. Unlucky you whom is not able to achieve brain orgams.
This video is a better example than OP's video.

if we're gonna discuss ASMR, we can't forego this genius:

Is ASMR the tickling feeling i get in my ear when anyone whispers in my ear or just a similar thing?
[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;46962074]I don't understand how people can experience ASMR from videos like these. It's just binaural effects and/or highs eq'd through the roof.
Music based ASMR is a different story, at least when it's not being blanket-labelled as 'frisson'[/QUOTE]
Music based ASMR is a totally different thing

Pretty much.
It's also the pleasant crawling feeling along your scalp when you hear rain pattering on glass, or the expectant sensation in your neck when you hear someone striking a match.
It's not universal, so you might not feel it, but you'd know it if you do.

Frisson and ASMR are two different feelings, not everyone gets ASMR. I myself only came across it when I was looking up mechanical keyboards, the videos of people trying out key types was [I]really[/I] relaxing to me. Eventually I found ASMR videos like the ones posted above; I found them weird at first, I began watching purely object videos (Like the ones SoundSculptures makes) and eventually eased my way into more "normal" ASMR videos.

"Music-based ASMR" isn't ASMR. They're totally different effects - the shivers or tingles you get from an epic moment in a movie or the crescendo of an orchestral score are totally, undeniably different than what ASMR is. Frisson is a rush of adrenaline and other hormones that excites you, while ASMR is a relaxing feeling that is pretty much the absolute opposite of frisson.
Also, ASMR really doesn't have to be creepy or sexual at all. It can be for some people, sure, but for the majority of people it's just a sleep aid that makes your head tingle. I like to listen to videos without any talking at all. Vocal sounds are okay, but brushing sounds and tapping will put me to sleep in minutes.
It's really no different than getting a relaxing massage or a haircut - it just feels comforting and relaxes you.
ASMR master race.

I never said they weren't different things. I get goosebumps and an emotional rush from epic/uplifting/sad music. I get ASMR from certain minimalist trance/piano tracks, particularly where female vocalists are involved.
ASMR in music is most definitely experienced by some people, or [URL]http://www.reddit.com/r/ASMRmusic[/URL] wouldn't exist. It's quite closed-minded to assume the way you experience ASMR is the only way, especially in a thread intended to raise awareness. I personally don't get ASMR from mere sound effects, but I can absolutely understand how it is possible some people can experience it. For me, the sound effects or light female voiceovers have to be musical rather than random, but it's the same concept otherwise.

"Shhhhhh...."
Best example I can make is how you know how haircuts can feel relaxing? That's ASMR. People determined that audio cues amongst other things can cause that same relaxing sensation, and then went on to make videos made specifically for that'
Other things include demonstrations (before I discovered it as a solid concept, I'd watch magic tricks, and those would help somehow), personal attention such as a check up or salon session, or even just hand movement. Aural stimulation is usually the best, though.
