[QUOTE=DONK! 2x;50008181]i'm not sure if i really understand asmr. is it supposed to give you a tingle down your spine? cause all the asmr videos i see either make me really giggly or really agitated.[/QUOTE]
Think pins and needles when a limb falls asleep, without the 'pain' part; only on the top of your skull.
No spine involved. It's a little like a head massage, and they're short like shivers/goosebumps from a cold breeze.
If you want to experience it (If you haven't already, I think it's pretty common?), don't watch anything with ASMR in the title. Waste of your time. Very, very random things trigger it for me; and not a single one was meant to do it.
[QUOTE=1/4 Life;50008079]I got this feeling all the time when I was little. I had a really hard time explaining it, and it always felt like something was wrong with me.
Generally, I'd get it listening to a teacher or watching someone do something complicated. A 'learning' sensation.
Attaching a label to it (ASMR) and then associating it with all these blatantly sexual and awkward videos kind of ruins it. It's a cool feeling.[/QUOTE]
I always though that feeling was normal and everyone was feeling it. Just as you said, listening to teachers would sometimes trigger it for me. One day a friend linked me some super cringy ASMR video and after a quick google search I realized what it actually is.

ephemeral rift's got some really great off the wall type shit
I used to listen to ASMR a lot, including the whispering ones and other weirder sounds. They can be really helpful as background noise to help me sleep, much like how people like the sound of a fan, etc. to help them get to sleep. Very few actually gave me those tingles though.
Nowadays I just listen to Bob Ross videos or occasionally a soft-spoken ASMR video. And sometimes streams on Twitch. I can't stand the whispering/mouth sounds/whatever anymore it actually keeps me awake.

Nothing wrong with adding a label to it, it's an actual thing

Though for me to get ASMR it needs to be a good quality binaural microphone, people tagging their videos ASMR and then tapping away at their keyboard using their shitty webcam microphone does jack shit

I wouldn't disagree with you if "ASMR" was an official term.
There have been no scientific studies on the topic what so ever, and modern science has no opinion as to whether the effect does or doesn't exist.
"ASMR" is a term coined by laymen and then applied to these creepy, terrible videos. It's a bad label.

the term is as official as any other term. scientists aren't going to just make up a different term when they start researching it, it already has a name
[editline]27th March 2016[/editline]
also there have been a few peer-reviewed studies on it, all of which call it ASMR because that was the name that stuck for the sensation

I love this guy's videos. He's actually genuinely good at it (and he's deaf in one ear!) and really off the wall/creative.
Unboxing videos give me the tingles sometimes when they don't speak
[QUOTE=karimatrix;50002437]OK now that i know what ASMR is all those videos are still giving only one question - [B] WHY[/B]
what kind of a creepy self-centered antisocial person you'd have to be to watch videos on internet for a
[I]tingly sensation feeling[/I]
Can't you just masturbate to porn like all normal people?[/QUOTE]
What's your problem? I never understood the association many people make that asmr is apparently sexual, I actually get the feeling and it has nothing to do with that whatsoever.

You described the feeling perfectly, unfortunately enough people always misinterpret what I tell them what it feels like into something way different. Oddly enough, I know of plenty of people who get the opposite effect and they tell me asmr videos and watching stuff like Bob Ross annoys them rather than relaxes them.
[QUOTE=Killer monkey;49998024]I love ASMR, I wish someone would do a study on the actual tingle feeling that happens, I'd love to know what causes that[/QUOTE]
They have, the cause is your brain melting away as you watch the videos.

I know a fair few people who get misophonia from things that I enjoy. Eg, unboxing videos, tapping noises, etc.
It's a really weird part of human psyche I guess.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;50006316]I can trigger ASMR at will.[/QUOTE]
I never really connected it with ASMR or even thought that it was abnormal, but people biting forks/spoons gives me the same feeling as from these videos.
Or if tap a fork lightly on my teeth it'll make me shiver from the tingling.
I don't know if this is a normal thing that people experience or not, I never notice anyone else get uncomfortable at tables from it like I do.
ASMR is sad and people that watch or listens to such are a sad bunch of people lmao

Asmr is a sensory reaction that happens when you're very relaxed and comfortable.
You can feel it when you're half dozing in a blanket in front of a fireplace on a cold day, mesmerized by the flickering flames, for example.
