DAE absolutely hate ASMR?

I don’t understand why people like it, and I never will.

Some people post clacky-clacky crap or scratchy sounds and call it ASMR.
ASMR is whatever produces that tingly feeling in a person so it's extremely personal.

Those fingernails-rapping-on-a-glass just irritate most people. Not all sound - not most sounds can be widely classified as ASMR. I even saw a comment on a post from a woman who said that artificial crackling fire or raindrops are irritating to her.

They make me very uncomfortable and I cant stand people whispering. Feels violating

u/FriendshipWithTheSun 1d ago

And you can hear their tongue/spit smacking around while they’re whispering…

I have always been repulsed by whispering. Cannot stand it. ASMR sends me over the edge. My mother starts whispering midway through a sentence for no fucking reason and I either check out or have to tell her to talk normal lol. For some reason, all British accents give me the same vibe but not as strong like I can manage through it but it still gets under my skin a bit.

Same, like hearing that one paper plate NPC whisper in Ultimate Custom Night, it makes me feel so violated.

u/lovethatMoon 1d ago

i hate whispering. that's what people are doing when they're talking/whispering into a microphone?
ugh it's disgusting

I think it’s absolute torture! Hopefully this “trend” will go away very soon!

I tried it the other day thinking it was going to be calming voices and forest sounds but all the videos I clicked were people doing wet noises with their mouths and tapping their nails on stuff. Fucked right off

u/jinside 1d ago

Oh, absolutely. It is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Asking for a friend .. what does ASMR stand for and mean?

u/Scrotchety 1d ago

There's this chillout techno song from 30+ years ago ~ Cydonia - Galactic Rebirth ~ there's a percussive rolling thrumming / trilling sound in the first minute that produces frisson up and down my spine and inside my brain paired with good headphones and minimal outside noise. THAT'S what true ASMR should be

What we have now is some bastardized internet version of influencer-wannabes doing annoying things to microphones

u/BelaFarinRod 1d ago

I don’t understand it at all. It’s boring at best but usually it’s annoying. (To me at least.) But someone must like it.

u/PhoeniixWrong 1d ago

Yup I hate it, especially the ones with mouth sounds

u/Linkmolgera2 1d ago

I have Misophonia, it makes me super angry and I hate it.

u/undergroundman813 1d ago

Depends on what kind it is

u/lovethatMoon 1d ago

i don't understand it. how is it supposed to feel good? it's a video not real life in the room.

u/RoyalPuzzleheaded259 1d ago

Certain types of ASMR piss me off. Specifically the videos of people eating loudly and smacking their lips into a mic. Fuck that nasty shit.

u/Disastrous-Tough-966 1d ago

I can’t be convinced it’s not a sex thing

u/mooshinformation 1d ago

some of those videos definitely are, but asmr itself isn't

u/livinin82 1d ago

Especially when I speed up a video.

u/notathingreally 1d ago

So freaking much!

u/EdgeKey5631 1d ago

Yes, cringey af

u/Shevz_thetruck 1d ago

Especially when they make it sexual. It’s strange to me, and it shows up for children which is even more off putting to me.

1

u/BubbhaJebus 1d ago

It's annoying and pointless. A stupid fad.

1

u/HoldOnHelden 1d ago

YES IT IS SO AWFUL.

u/cameronpark89 1d ago

me. it’s annoying to me and i don’t get the hype, at all.

u/Silver-Instruction73 1d ago

Yeah, it seems extremely stupid to me. Idk how anyone likes it.

u/Jakaple 1d ago

I hate the weird shit people tag as asmr, whispering and tapping isn't asmr.

u/cellalovesfrankie 1d ago

Makes my skin crawl.

u/VirgilTheGay 1d ago

I also despise ASMR. It just makes me uncomfortable.

u/Top_Candidate_8878 1d ago

But have you listened to wood sounds/wood soup?

u/kevinator_1981 20h ago

What most people are trying to pass off as ASMR is total bullshit. The overly loud mouth sounds, wavy fingers, clacking fingernails, loudly eating, etc…..trash.

I used to get the “asmr” tingles as a little kid watching antique road show.

u/BJntheRV 20h ago

Yes, like nails Ina chalkboard

1

u/Tekrunner000 17h ago

IMO they are pointless and bring no value.

1

u/MyPronounsAreTheDude 14h ago

Probably because you haven't physically experienced it, buddy.

1

u/Matt561- 11h ago

It triggers my misophonia, it's painful for me.

1

u/Due_Association4271 10h ago

As someone who actually experiences asmr in the wild, I have never gotten a response from any "asmr video" and the wet mouth sounds and constant tapping on things makes me want to tear their hair out

1

u/Fantastic-Ad-7996 1h ago

probably because you don't actually experience Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.

the term asmr has been reduced to people doing audio roleplays and horny bait stuff. that isn't asmr inherently. it's just a pleasant sensation you get in your head or even throughout your body.

it doesn't even need to have a person in it. it can just be directional sound or even music.
