That’s so weird! ‘Low-grade euphoria’ eh? I need to get me some of that.

I read the wikipedia link 'cause I had no idea what that is. The introduction of the article wasn’t clarifying much either.
But then I stumbled on “brain orgasm” 
Really?? (
good for you )

I think LGR vids have an ASMR aspect to them.

Last year I was looking for an unboxing video. The only result was an ASMR one that was all about the crinkling and other noises related to opening a package. It was a bit much for me.

reading a whole Wikipedia article on ASMR and still having no clue what it is
(note: in the article forum names are mentioned - as if these are actual names of people. So who knows, in a few years there is a Wikipedia article featuring our TWP forum names… 
Now what would that article be about? “Off-Topic”? 
)

‘Millions of years ago, people visited ‘forums’, areas online where they could chat. Many of these originated from crowdfunded video games, such as the Thimbleweed Park forum, which near-imploded shortly after a topic was started about politics. Only one member, Zak Phoenix McKracken, remained on the forum until his death.’

Don’t read, just experience. With headphones.
PS I don’t think it’s that interesting. In any case besides the whispering there are some common ASMR tropes around 8:00.
For some reason I read that as “originated from overfunded crowd games” for a split second.

I read that as ‘originated from overcrowded fun games’.
Who’s feeling dizzy?

Yep, got that tingly feeling in my head 
but then… ow 
Here’s a weird thing I have: if I hear loud or “sharp” sounds focused in my left ear, often it makes me tense up on my left side. It’s a little painful. It’s some kind of sound sensitivity that isn’t that well-known (nothing to do with ASMR), that I’ve had since I was young.

I listened to the whole thing. With headphones.
A few observations:
-I was expecting a loud noise to give me a jumpscare the whole time.
-Or 
it’s Ransome the *beeping* clown!
-I still don’t get what it is supposed to trigger
-I didn’t feel anything tingling in my brain or on my skin
Conclusion:
I’m an insensitive jerk.
I do get the creeps or goosebumps when I hear certain sounds in thriller games (like the last door) or movies (the Others)
Or good goosebumps from certain music/a capella.
Is ASMR supposed to be something like that?
