ASMR

ASMR is a pleasant "low-grade euphoria" sensation characterised by "a combination of good feelings and a characteristic static-like tingling sensation on the skin." Specific aural or visual stimuli, as well as conscious attention control, are the most prevalent triggers. A genre of ASMR-inducing videos has arisen, with over 15 million videos published on YouTube. Learning how to use the voice and microphone techniques correctly is the most well-known ASMR approach. Acting skills are also very useful in creating a large-scale experience.

ASMR is generally triggered by stimuli known as 'triggers.' The most prevalent ASMR triggers are auditory and visual, and they can be found in everyday interpersonal interactions. ASMR is also frequently triggered by exposure to certain audio and video. Such material may have been created specifically for the aim of inducing ASMR, or it may have been created for other purposes and afterwards determined to be useful as an ASMR trigger.


Stimuli that can trigger ASMR, as reported by those who experience it and include:


  • Listening to a whispered or softly spoken voice

  • Listening to quiet, repeated sounds made by someone doing something monotonous like turning pages in a book

  • Observing someone perform a monotonous chore, such as food preparation or scratching

  • Receiving individual attention, such as grooming (makeup application, hair brushing)

  • Without the use of external video or audio triggers, the stimulus is initiated by intentional manipulation.

  • Listening to tapping on surfaces such as plastic, wood, paper, metal, and so on.

  • Hand gestures, especially those directed toward one's face

  • Certain forms of music are enjoyable to listen to.

  • Listening to someone exhale or inhale into a microphone

  • Listening to "crinkly" objects like paper, clothing, and substances like styrofoam

  • Listening to mouth sounds, such as the quiet clicking of the tongue or the clicking of the teeth


Lower-pitched, complex sounds, as well as slow-paced, detail-focused videos, were found to be particularly effective triggers in a 2017 research of 130 survey respondents. The effect can be triggered by whispering.

Non-vocal ambient noises produced by human activities are also excellent ASMR triggers, according to many ASMR users. Fingers scratching or tapping a surface, combing hair, hands rubbing together or manipulating fabric, eggshell shattering, crinkling and crumpling of a flexible substance such as paper, or writing are all examples of such noises. Many YouTube videos aimed at eliciting ASMR responses show a single person executing these movements and making described above sounds.
