Well, I guess I'll be the first to put it out there on this thread. I watch/listen to ASMR videos. ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. It is a pleasant tingling sensation in the head and spine that is caused by various "triggers," including personal attention and soft, repetitive sounds. Not everyone feels it. I am one of the lucky bunch that does. Thing is, even if you don't experience ASMR, many of the videos designed to trigger it are also just very relaxing because of the soft sounds and slow, gentle movements.

I think I've heard of that before when there were people talking about it and some of those sounds being in the PES "Fresh Guacamole" video. I don't think I got any of those sensations but I did find the sounds relaxing so maybe it'll be something to try out!

Yeah, I could definitely see that video triggering ASMR. I tend to prefer the videos that are made specifically for it.
