YouTube and social media platforms are FILLED with ASMR content that offer various genres to satisfy our ears. I’m convinced that everybody has tuned in to an ASMR channel at least once, whether they liked it or not. Some just don’t get the hype behind it, while others get hooked on it for life. Why is AMSR so addicting and relaxing? Here’s why!
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response – it’s a genre of content that is designed to induce relaxation as well as subjective euphoria. So, technically, listening to ASMR is supposed to make you feel relaxed, as you empty your mind, and focus completely on the sounds produced. For example – when you’re at the spa, you relax your body and mind and just give in to the heavenly massages. It’s the same when listening to or viewing an ASMR video. ASMR has different levels, and these levels are based on what intrigue you. The sounds and movements that you are attracted to, or rather, that your mind picks up, will send a tingle down your spine. You will even start feeling a happy and care-free sensation which will eventually take over your whole body.
As mentioned above, there are various types of ASMR content, ranging from slow and relaxing, to fast and aggressive. They include eating shows, roleplay, foreplay, gentle whispers, object sound triggers, and so much more. If you’re new to this whole ASMR thing, this might be a little confusing, because there are so many channels out there – but really only a few are the best, at least for me. So, I figured that since we’re nearing the weekend, I’d share with you guys some of my favourite ASMR-ists to listen to, so you can wind down and not give two sh*ts about anything. Let’s go!
Relaxing ASMR
1. Alexandria ASMR
She is my favourite ASMR-ist out there. Mostly because her content varies, and she has such engaging ASMRs that will make you feel like you are part of the action. Alexandria does various types, like roleplay and sound triggers, that always manage to send tingles down my body, as well as put me in deep relaxation. She makes sure her movements and oral sounds are alluring, as well as calming, for those who are watching. Here are some of her videos that I enjoy – you’ll love her for sure!
2. Joice B ASMR
Another of my favourite ASMR-ists is Joice B. Her content also varies, but she mostly does soothing and relaxing ASMRs and hers are extremely engaging, as she likes to involve a lot of roleplay and acting in her videos. Her videos include: ASMR friend pampers you, Fantasy roleplay ASMR, and so much more. Not sure if anyone can relate, but I always feel high when I’m watching her ASMRs.
3. Nanou ASMR
Nanou specialises in the sound triggering concept. Her mouth and hand movements, as well as her subtle to loud whispers, will help you ultimately let loose and fall into a deep sleep. I admit, I am guilty of replaying her YouTube ASMR shorts over and over again. And I can guarantee you will too.
Food ASMR
1. Makeupbypita Food ASMR
Now, Makeupbita isn’t exactly a professional ASMR-ist, and she does not dedicate her entire channel to ASMR. In fact, she is a beauty YouTuber and vlogger – but occasionally, she does a series of ASMRs that she calls “I TRIED ASMR…” in which she attempts to make food-based ASMRs that are just wholesome, funny and entertaining to watch.
In most of her ASMR videos, she eats a variety of foods – ranging from sweets, spicy food, weird food and home-made food. Honestly, she is the best, funniest ASMR-ist I have seen on YouTube. Do check her out if you want a rather chill and entertaining ASMR with a lil humour to crack you up.
2. Mellawnie ASMR
Now, no food-related ASMR recommendation is complete without Asian ones! I strongly believe so. WARNING: Mellawnie ASMR will make you extremely hungry, and I always starve to death whenever I watch her ASMRs. Also, if you’re anything like me, you’d be particular about watching food ASMR. What I mean is, I genuinely cannot handle sloppy, messy and disgusting ASMRs or mukbangs, cause honey, those will not make me hungry – they make me wanna puke!
So, anyways, the point here is that Mellawnie’s ASMRs are not at all like that. As a matter of fact, her Food ASMRs will make you wanna eat along with her. Dammit! Just speaking about it makes me hungry.
Sleep Triggering + Tingling ASMR
1. Stacy Aster
Stacy Aster’s ASMRs are highly effective in inducing sleep, and she focuses on producing sounds that are insanely tingling. The pleasure and euphoria you get out of them will legitimately make you feel like you’re floating on cloud 9. Not an exaggeration – it is true and you can experience it for yourself. Just click on one of the videos below.
Well, those were my favourite ASMRs to watch and listen to when I just don’t feel like moving and would need someone to pamper me. You can always count on an ASMR-ist for ultimate relaxation and pleasure!
