new favorite weird shit on the internet: ASMR ROLE PLAY ~ Autonomous sensory meridian response ~

The NYT are an extremely reactionary publication = of course they're not going to "get" the appeal of ASMR/ASMR videos.

Miranda does an ASMR bank robbery. dying at this one. dying. amazing.

thread finally delivering

The spaghet one fucking killed me

Another comedy take. Has Limmy tried his hand at this yet?

by the way i tried a pair of these today:
https://www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/products/frames.html

and listening to the above clip (Virtual barbershop) was FUCKING FREAKY. literally a second after i had hit play, even though i knew exactly what i was doing, and exactly what i was about to hear, i TURNED MY HEAD the fuck around to MAKE SURE that the sounds weren't being made by something actually in the room. the guys showing it to me explained that because with the glasses nothing is on your ears, the sounds of the real world aren't getting filtered out, so it's much easier to fool your brain that the recorded sounds are integrated into the actually-existing soundscape. it isn't always what you would want i guess - often it's great to block out the sound of public transportation, etc - but... dawg. and then of course it's a whole nother level with head tracking - you turn your head and the sound of the crackling fire (or whatever) appears to stay in the same place in relation to you...

feel ashamed by how much i want those

Well, I know what I'm buying in a year or two when the prices get reduced/competing manufacturers put out less expensive versions of the product. Hell, I'm hoping Skullcandy comes out with an equivalent product because I find their items to be more within my price range and I already use their wireless headphones on the regular. Wow.

BTW, one of my good friends has a friend (whom I've befriended on FB) who's getting her own ASMR channel off the ground. Here's one of her videos:

I like Dr. Dmitri's eye, ear, and cranial nerve examination videos, they calm me down, especially the ear one (with headphones), I know they aren't real but they are soothing to me

It's def the mouth sounds that are the creepiest with ASMR vids.

dee already mentioned mukbang in March but wtf (don't worry, it's not porn)

Kim Richards vs. Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna in Amsterdam ASMR pic.twitter.com/CW5zfp9TL4

i don't know who any of those people are but i love it

Kim Richards = former child star turned "Real Housewives" reality TV star.
Lisa Rinna = former TV star turned "Real Housewives" reality TV star.
Eileen Davidson = IDK. Ok, apparently she was a former soap opera star turned "Real Housewives" reality TV star.

So it looks like this is a clip from a scene from whatever version of "Real Housewives" starred all three of those people. IDK and honestly couldn't care less now I know the probable source. Yeah, I'm an ASMR snob.

lol

I'm mesmerized by the ASMR erotic stuff, straight and gay, it's all kind of amazing

just love the sound of a voice more than anything

the bbc have tracked down and interviewed the welsh stone carver from one of the most classic unintentional asmr videos https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-wales-48724352/asmr-welsh-stone-carver-is-unintentional-youtube-star

"my voice - and this is what is so embarrassing - seems to calm people down!"

Bless 'im, lovely man.

it's interesting how many of the best unintentional asmr videos feature older people, I wonder if asmr is in part a reaction against a trend towards higher energy & higher anxiety communication

makes sense to me, i hate the Youtuber near-shouting all the time style

Yeah, Frankie MacDonald really grinds my gears.

(just kidding - love that guy)

he seems like a good guy :)

was thinking about how hard it was to watch vids about video games for example without subjecting myself to some Poochy-face ironic shouter for hours on end

Tempted to put this in the youtubers who aren't terrible thread to get it even more exposure, but here it goes for now. This is glorious stuff:

that is absolutely wonderful, subscribed

thank you

ah, the double-wave

The first episode is very good, but that second one is indeed especially wonderful. Thanks to a pal on thee dreaded fb for originally sharing it a few days ago. I've never encountered Purim before, so those parts are particularly fascinating, without interrupting the relaxing zen vibe.

i fucking LOVE this video, thank you for sharing it

This is low-key the greatest YouTube video ever made

A philosopher reflects on ASMR.

The ASMR videos I most enjoy are intimacy porn. They elicit the pleasures of intimacy without the difficulties and burdens characteristic of its genuine instances—in short, those associated with the presence of another vulnerable, hungering person.

this articulates my experience

i like some of the haircut ones with binaural electric clippers action. v relaxing.

that was a good essay Euler, thanks

my...pleasure
