What is ASMR?

does this make your scalp. tingle no let's talk about. [Music]. that good mythical morning have you. familiarized yourself with the latest. Trend that is hitting the YouTubes no. I'm going to let you do that to us right. now that's what happens on G mythical. morning well a lot of stuff happens on G. mythical morning but every once in a. while maybe learn something or maybe you.

already know all about this but either. way we're going to be talking about ASMR. videos I know very little about this. I've I've heard inklings of it you can. call it asthma or you can just say ASMR. and that stands for I don't know if you. can say asthma actually but it just. seems like it's waiting to happen I'm. able to say it autonomous I got to look. at this autonomous sensory Meridian. response now this is a scientific. concept link so thinking c what does.

that mean in layman's terms um well what. that means is that there is a phenomenon. that happens with the human body and it. is when you hear people wh well when. some people hear people whispering or. they hear certain. sounds uh like scraping of a pen on. paper or things rustling and it's like. quiet it actually induces a tingling. sensation a a a a a very pleasing.

tingling sensation in your scalp I'm I'm. I'm not going to touch your hair I'm. just G to demonstrate the tingling by. just doing that on your hair so it's. like Goosebumps on your head exactly. Goosebumps on your head okay but and and. this is a thing on YouTube now my name. is Maria and I will be your hair stylist. today but it has had a very recent Sur.

in popularity where there are people. making channels that are completely. devoted to these ASMR videos um and I'm. going to show you a few of them as a way. of introduction to you and the mythical. beasts are you ready to be asmer sure. okay all right this first one a lot of. them have to do with like a role playing. situation like uh in this one it's a POV. so it's like you're entering into this. situation and you're going to the doctor.

and there's going to be a doctor. Whispering at you as he's giving you a. cranial nerve examination but this is a. this is an actor this is just a YouTuber. buddy hello I'm the. doctor okay I'll be doing your exam. today okay thank you before I get. started with that let me to ask you just. a few basic questions me what is your. full name first and last Charles lincol. Neil. III okay date of birth uh 617.

8 that makes you how old I don't know 30. something it's kind of depressing and to. the extent that you're aware uh why has. your doctor asked you to come see me. today um because I don't know he's weird. he thought this might work okay yeah. okay so okay so you have a man who's. Whispering now as you can see this video. is 22 minutes long almost 23 minutes. long now he goes on to do an exam he. puts things into your eyes he looks at.

he he examines your face and your head. and I guess the ideaal nerve you just. sit there and you watch this doctor. examine you I can I'm I'm not. criticizing the guy but I'm just going. to be honest and say I didn't feel any. tingling on my scalp I felt a little. oddness in the rest of my body like this. is weird now there's oddness here okay. now for reasons that you can imagine um. that make sense on some level uh women. are make a lot of these videos and men. like them so we have lots of whispering. women uh who do some some different.

different things but it's it is very. much like uh in this one that we're. going to show this woman is offering to. shave a beard okay so I have a beard so. I'm G to let this girl with an accent. offer to shade my beard okay hi it's. lovely to see you again yes you too okay. I know it feels like it's been so long. yeah where have you been I see that your. beard is certainly grown yeah it's big.

yeah you can see how long have you been. growing that for like 10 years but trim. it wow you done a great job thank you it. is nice is I really like it yeah than it. really suits you yeah a lot of people. say that so a lot of room noise and this. well because they're whispering and a. lot of mouth noise in this 16-minute. video um she goes on to completely shave. your face now your face doesn't actually. get shaven okay that would be awesome. now and then a lot of these videos to. get a haircut or shave via YouTube now.

if you didn't think that was weird. enough a lot of these videos are just. simply people creating noises like this. one where the person is putting a. fountain pen onto. paper now I'm not feeling this totally. does it for me this I'm not the alphabet. does it for you no no no no I'm serious. like this makes my this makes my head. tingle I'm not. kidding.

I mean that's a pretty alphabet but I I. feel like I'm missing the boat here on. this one okay so um have you experienced. these ASMR videos what do you think. about them let us know in the comments. fascinating but listen you know lots of. people are getting onto this ASMR boat. lots of people are making their own ASMR. videos and so now we've got some props. here and we are going to create an ASMR. experience for you let's go to black and. white for. this.
