The Sad State of ASMR

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It is often triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, such as whispering, tapping, scratching, or slow, gentle movements. People who experience ASMR often find it relaxing and may use ASMR content to help with sleep, anxiety, or stress relief.

ASMR content has become popular on platforms like YouTube, where creators produce videos specifically designed to trigger this response. These videos often feature close-up sounds and detailed visuals to enhance the sensory experience.
