Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a euphoric experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine, precipitating relaxation.

ASMR is an internet niche that has been widely misunderstood by the public. It is a widespread misconception that ASMR is sexual or disgusting in nature.

As a long-time ASMR user, I can confidently tell you that:

1)ASMR is NOT mukbang.
2) ASMR is NOT some girl vociferously licking the microphone like a dog.
3) ASMR is NOT anything that involves bodily fluids.
4) ASMR is NOT sexual.

The truth is, ASMR is none of that weird disgusting stuff, it is actually quite inoffensive in nature. The fundamental purpose of ASMR is to induce a state of relaxation into the listener through what people call "tingles", which are tingly sensations you get in the scalp and elsewhere throughout the body. This is mainly achieved through hearing gentle whispers and soft delicate sounds. It can also be achieved through watching someone pamper you (e.g. barbershop roleplays, doctor roleplays, etc).

ASMR has always been about ear-to-ear whispering. It has always been about exploring the satisfying sounds that various materials make (e.g. leaves crunching). It has NEVER been about mic licking, I hope people seriously realize this.
Alice: Do you listen to ASMR?
Steph: Of course! My favourite one is that girl who eats an entire seafood platter.
Alice: Um..... I would hardly call that ASMR.

Steph: Why not?
Alice: ASMR is supposed to be relaxing. Listening to someone slurping loudly on ramen ain't relaxing in the slightest. Go listen to GentleWhispering, ASMR Darling or Ephemeral Rift if you want some actual ASMR content.
