22. What the Hell is ASMR? Just Don't Get Me Started
-
- Society & Culture
Whether it's Bob Ross or an Ikea advert, a lot of us have experienced ASMR without even knowing it.
With close to 13 million Youtube videos with ASMR in the title, how do you even begin to describe what it is, what it involves and how you experience it? I'm going to try (and possibly fail) to softly speak whilst explaining the ins and outs of ASMR.
(I say softly speak, what I mean is, I'll put you to sleep by sounding hungover...)
Also discussed:
- How I discovered ASMR and how different it was in 2011
- The way ASMR has become more mainstream, being seen in adverts from big brands and spoken about by celebrities, such as Cardi B
- Ways in which you may have experienced ASMR without knowing (Bob Ross, I'm looking at you)
- The (very early days) studies into ASMR & what they mean
- How ASMR is more mainstream than ever due to apps such as TikTok also promoting ASMR content
I hope that, even if this episode was boring, you could still technically benefit from the ASMR element by falling asleep because of it....
Lucky you, you’ve landed on Just Don’t Get Me Started, the podcast that is taking on society one rant at a time.
Laugh at or with host, Grace Hall, as she attempts to battle through Salford’s intense background noise, her own procrastination and her tendency to pick up new hobbies and drop them immediately to entertain you (a little).
Just Don’t Get Me Started is sometimes informed, always humorous, and is centred around bringing entertainment through topics that matter.
If you want to receive a very loving message to your inbox, please do forward the podcast on social media, subscribe on whichever platform it is you love to listen on or just shout from the rooftops about it, because your neighbours should be as annoyed with you as you are with them.
