Wow didn't know it was only 20% of the population. It's never worked for me and I thought I was missing something.
Inignot12
I’d love to know where he got that statistic from, it feels like he pulled it out of his backside.
@@davidbronstein2040 If I had to guess, it's probably from the book he showed/featured the author of, Brain Tingles I think it was.
20% is incredibly high. That would mean 1 in 5. That would be a pleasant surprise.
@@davidbronstein2040 Actually that sounds about right I've heard others say 20% before.
I feel like, beyond bob ross, one of the first places I can accurately place ASMR like feelings was in the "haircut" audio file that got shared around old websites
The eating food ones just make me cringe. Probably due to my kids doing the same for years.
This is awesome. Thanks so much for chatting with me! :)
People love to oversimplify. ASMR isn't "about" anything, it's a psychophysical response that feels good. What you do with that feeling, what you associate with it, and how you give it meaning to yourself is a whole different matter. It's like food. What is food or eating "about"? is food "sexual" because people will incorporate food or eating into their sexual activities? Of course not. For some people, ASMR (or certain sexual activities, like cuddling/spooning) is associated with relaxation or sleeping, for others it is associated with sexual arousal or emotional intimacy, while for others it's just a nice way to zone out and do other things which require concentration or relaxation.
Honestly i dont generally like ASMR, but the hate surrounding it is odd because there are other versions that would appeal to them. For example i like the sounds of mechanical keyboards and thunderstorms. I just cant stand voices
@@joseph2000117 yeah, I agree. It's also very mood-dependent, like music. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a particular type of asmr or music, but other times it irritates the crap out of me. People just need to stop being so damn judgemental and just chill when it comes to other people's preferences.
Thanks God!! A clever comment here
I genuinely do not feel asmr anymore. But I watch asmr videos almost daily, especially when I'm stressed, because they are relaxing for me.
I make music and music has always had a major impact on me. I realised I’m in the ASMR group when I was stressed at the airport and then heard the Japanese flight attendant from JAL speak about the next flight in Japanese. It was relaxing and soothing. Japanese asmr is my fave when done genuinely and without food.
The rubber ears on a binaral mic are there to simulate how the structure of your ears colour sound
Thanks for giving me a chance to talk about ASMR! I never knew only 20% of people experience ASMR. That is lower than I thought! Also, where did you get that mic...it looks so cool 👀👀👀😂
Thanks for talking to me, it was a lot of fun. The mic cover is a Ride Blimp. Here's a link: www.rode.com/accessories/blimp
YOU USED TO MANY EMOJIS!
My gosh, you had the chance to sit down with seafoamkitten. I'm envy xD
Bob Ross will always be the OG asmrtist
Remember, asmr is the response, the tingles.
It's like laughing.
The asmr videos are those that try to get people to get those tingles and also help people relax even if they don't get the tingles.
Just like funny videos, they try to make people laugh but also "help" people get in a "funny" mood even if they don't laugh.
There are many ways to get the tingles or relax and each person has their own preference, even pornography may influence some to get the tingles easier, separately from the sexual arousal.
The same way there are asmr with funny bits in them. Maybe laughing or feeling that fun mood helps people relax easier, get more confortable with the video or get tingles easier.
Again, asmr is not about whispering or ear licking, it is any way imaginable to get someone to feel the tingles or relax. It could even be the sound of someone farting that gives somebody the tingles and it would give them asmr. Does that make all asmr videos weird farting videos?
Same way: someone laughs at somebody farting in a video, does that make every funny video be about farting?
When I see Bob Ross all I can think is how the hell does he paint trees in like 2 seconds.
Amazing video, I knew nothing about ASMR before this and wow I thought I was just missing something.
Anyways gonna get back to Touhou.
I would 100% slip jump scares into an ASMR video if I were to film one in the first place.
Excellent video! Really appreciate how well-researched and honest it is. Thanks for inviting me to be involved!
It was great talking to you!
I actually found out I was asmr receptive in like 2006 or so when I would watch Criss Angel Mindfreak and would just get relaxed just hearing his voice calmed me down. Glad it's being talked about more
Always love your content man.
thanks very much :)
I don't necessarily feel tingles but rain and ambience videos do relax me. I study to a nice ambience video of rain... I guess it fools my brain so that I don't go out and waste my time. haha
I didn't know I experienced ASMR until watching this video
I've been a sub for awhile and never thought you would cover this. I've been using ASMR to relax for awhile now and it's nice to see someone approach it from a serious Perspective. Most of the people who report on it are really dismissive or just say it's a type of porn or whatever so Thank you for this vid.
Well done! Your research and interviews were very informative and entertaining. And it was worth the wait.
ASMR is very odd, but my personal belief is that it has something to do with with childhood and being safe.
My ASMR triggers are rain on a tin roof, whistling wind, the sounds of paper folding, certain people eating, the sounds of knitting, distant birds singing, quiet cooking and crafting sounds.
These were the sounds of my family home ( Ma knitting, Dad reading the newspaper etc) Reassuring sounds that I heard before I had cognitive thought.
I think I subconsciously associate these noises with being safe, comfortable and content.
Deliberate sound such as
Role play, tapping, sexual mouth sounds, scripted scenarios etc make me actually nauseous and I had an extremely hard time watching some parts of the video. Gotta love the mute button.
There had only been one UA-cam channel that I really enjoyed but tragically the ASMR presenter died from pancreatic cancer. She had a naturalness about her that was calming and I still listen to her cooking, crafting, eating and whispering videos. She rarely showed her face unlike 99% of ASMR "stars"; her videos were about the ASMR not the personality.
Bob died without ever knowing he made a totally new cure discovery, mind blowing 🤯
My boy the asmrnerd!!!
Sup fam!
please do a video on capitalist-era communities without currencies
I hadn't heard of this. Any examples come to mind?
It's funny that most asmrtists I know hate eating sounds, but people request that kind of video so they have to make one of them once in a while ^^U
Asmr sounds cool, but I don’t feel anything so I guess I’m part of the 80%
Edit: hold up just remembered that I nearly fall asleep whenever I hear whispering ok woops
i think i might have some sort of anti-asmr. i get conflicting feelings with some of them because i hear "youre special" as im feeling extremely uncomfortable.
The only feeling I have when I watch asmr is cringe.
pupypup I feel like it may be that you find certain words/ roleplay weird, which is fine, it may just be the sounds themselves, not the subject matter at hand.
We were all ASMR lovers when we were babies. Parents singing and soothing us to sleep, still works with my 7yo son when sick or sad.
LaserDragons that’s so sweet omg
It just makes me feel bad it’s like the sound of two pieces of tin rubbing against each other
20% is so much higher than I thought would love to see larger studies of population
I was basically ready to marry you, until you bit into that banana. 😂
Eating sounds don’t work for me and ‚mouth sounds‘ make downright aggressive.
But the rest was wonderful. Sighs. It’s so weird. The right sounds really have the same effect as physical touch on me.
Edit: ok, that’s not quite true. I do not like human eating sounds, but I love listening to animals eating. There’s this channel ‚OneMorePlease‘, that’s mostly a rabbit eating different stuff and I loooove listening to that.
Awesome, it was inevitable that you were going to dive into asmr, I wonder if Bob Ross ever got a chance to see some asmr
I’ve used ASMR to sleep for the past 6 years. I’ve had issues with insomnia for decades and owe ASMR the credit for helping me fall asleep. I can’t do eating or anything with mouth sounds, but draw a map or talk about random facts, and I’m out. Goodnight Moon is a great one, same with ASMRrtica ASMR.
Are rainfall and white noise for sleeping described as ASMR?
Yes, they were an introduction to asmr for a lot of people.
first reaction🤪 luv your vids keep it up!!!
I kinda get ASMR, but as soon as there is another human involved I'm out. When I hear whispering the hair on my neck stands up in a "fuck, someone is here to murder me"-kind of way, and it's not exactly what I would describe as relaxing.
Wait.. you got to talk to seafoam? :0 I'm so jealous!
I'm pretty drunk so that may have something to do with the brain tingles I'm experiencing.
Why did I click on this even though I totally have terrible misophonia? I let it run less than 1 second, UA-cam still says 0:00, all they've said is "HI!" and I'm like OH NO CRAP WHY DID I OH NO AGH
So lemme know if you do a video on that. Almost nobody knows about it and it's getting harder to just exist on the internet now that everyone is so into ASMR.
I find our propensity to assume intimacy is sexual, is a real bummer. Of course it can be, but why can't we just be close as a people?
Oh God, I just stick to my quetiapine and trazadone when it comes to sleep 🙄
I’m President Benjamin T. Pickles of Benjastan. You interviewed me in July. When does your MicroCon video come out?
Soon! In September. See you then!
the paper tearing really did it for me
Mukbang isnt asmr, change my mind.
god bless. I hope none will change your mind
well it isn't an autonomous sensory meridian response, so it quite actually isn't asmr. But it can give people the asmrs so it's weird to try and exclude it.
Roman Mars should do an ASMR
I like softly spoken, ambient noise stuff like Bob Ross but literally all 'intentional' ASMR stuff is too damn close to be anything but disturbing to me
He reminds me of the NerdSync host
I don't know why, but literally all ASMR makes my skin crawl. I really could've done with less examples of it in this video
That skin crawling is asmr, if I had to guess.
Also, if LITERALLY ALL asmr videos make you feel uncomfortable, then for the sake of it, don't watch it. After all, it has 'ASMR' in the title...
@@1996Pinocchio Yeah, I get that they'd show some ASMR, but I figured it'd just be a bit at the beginning to demonstrate and then the rest would be an explainer. I wasn't expecting it to be most of the video.
Works on my cat.
I can get why people like ASMR... but my brain fucking hates these kinds of sounds... I've discovered I've got a case of Misophonia... so sounds like tapping, humming, or textural sounds like ASMR... my brain is like fuck that shit (I realize how irrational that is, and I honestly wish I could enjoy the sound of humming or ASMR, but nope, my brain doesn't wanna) :(
I miss heather feather
She hasn't posted in like a year, but hás signed up for gibi's Zees app. Maybe she's returning?
He looked so uncomfortable by the end
Are you okay? Did they hurt you?
Softlygaloshes, Copycat, and FrivolousFox are my favorite ASMRtists
ASMR makes me feel physically sick every time. I hate it worse than anything.
I did not know it was only 20% so now I feel special
Why do the non ASMR bits, from the performers, have such poor quality audio?
You CLEARLY like seafoam lmao
CLEARLY!
No mention of Ephemeral Rift? The most outlandish ASMR channel out there? Aight im boutta head out
Thanks. I now know for sure that I don’t like asmr.
ASMR does occassionally work for me - but it's not something I seek from the internet. The concept of ASMR prostitution disgusts me.
Asmr is extrimly adictive
The only "response" I've with this ASMR-BS: Beating up the source… Relaxation? Not a bit…
1st minute explains only about 20% feels it though...
I am one of those 20%, but I cringe away from those odd roleplays like the murder one. I can't stand earlicking either... That shit makes me hurl even typing that.
@@jdooms Yea I guess people imagine they're in the scenario never liked it or mouth sounds
@@rickyhunt4075 I guess.. personally I see it more as storytelling in the background when I konk-out. Library roleplay, fine.... Don't come at me with stalker rp's and stuff..
1:20 Me and the bois partying after Area 51
Oh right, this is still a thing. Thankd for reminding me
Only 1600 views oof
indeed!
I just get annoyed, just talk normal please
Me too. I can't stand most of these ASMR sounds.
asmr never worked for me
Eating is just bragging
Basically
Hey, I have food.
And you don't.
Hahahaha
ASMR isn't pleasant at all to me, it physically hurts, and actually makes me furious. I hate it, and the people who do it to! I get this sharp reaction in my spine, and I involuntarily arch my back. I had to skip the opening, and didn't end up watching this the whole way through. I cannot stand ASMR.
WTF is wrong with people
I love this
69 th haha
its mono :(
It's a sex thing.
Ok?
For something so mainstream it's pretty dumb to call it abnormal
ASMR, because there isn't a form of the placebo effect that can't be monetized.
If you enjoy people creepily whispering into your ear to relax, I would apprieciate it if you could identify yourself with some kind of badge or facial tattoo. So I know to straight up avoid having any interaction with you.
Thank you in advance, ya weirdo.
