I remember a couple of years ago when Frivvi made a video announcing she was "following her truth" and committing to mouth sounds despite a number of her followers giving her feedback they hated when she did that. I used to like her too but I stopped when she went all in on the ear eating thing.As much as I like her, I really think Frivvi did the ASMR world a disservice with her ear eating videos. That was the turning point for a lot of women that suddenly realized ASMR was an easy cash grab if you were pretty enough and didn't care about your boss finding videos of you making out with silicone ears in a tank top and cat ears.
ASMR was an overwhelmingly female genre to begin with, albeit a deliberately non sexual one.View attachment 2609982
This is exactly what happened to ASMR and in fact anything that becomes mainstream and can have money made off it. Call them Social Parasites or SP's for short
The fact that the picture uses the word females instead of women is very telling.ASMR was an overwhelmingly female genre to begin with, albeit a deliberately non sexual one.
This entire concept is completely retarded and likely thought up by a neckbeard who got pissy that all his MTG buddies got friends and girlfriends.
I promise you the core concept holds true. Has happened to half a dozen niche hobbies I've had. It's less about the feeeemales and more about having people join it faster than they acclimate to the norms of the hobby.This entire concept is completely retarded and likely thought up by a neckbeard who got pissy that all his MTG buddies got friends and girlfriends.
I got into ASMR around maybe 2011, give or take. When it was only really Heather Feather and a few others. When things started to clearly become sexual (tittty streams and literal camwhore "getting into" ASMR), I recall there being a massive push back. Majority dislikes, comments say they don't like it etc. But most of the big channel (which were all women of course) either said nothing, acted like there was nothing sexual about it, or even welcomed it ("SEX WORK IS REAL WORK!"). This flood of porn ASMR help pushes ASMRers away and stop doing it. I miss the old ASMR days, when it was this small and weird thing to help people relax. When a video was only "sexy" when it was because the girl in it was a real beauty, not some egirl trying to get incel money.View attachment 2609982

Weirdly enough some of my favorite ASMR comes from people with kind of shit audio quality. Miss Manganese is the GOAT for chaotic/fastpaced roleplays but all she uses is a tiny shitty microphone. The lo-fi stuff genuinely does have a place in ASMR, but I agree overall the trend needs to shift back to being concerned about audio quality.I miss asmr actually being audio-focused. Don't get me wrong, the visual triggers in videos are nice, but it's like people just stopped caring about the audio quality/3d effect and shifted more into everyone trying to have the most ~creative~ porn/reiki/quirky roleplays. Also soft spoken videos are relaxing, but half of them aren't asmr, just relaxing. There are exceptions, but it's getting harder and harder to find content sometimes (and the algorithm doesn't help but turning it off leads to a sea of shit porn so it's a pick between two devils)
For me it's a cross between the visuals and the sound.Weirdly enough some of my favorite ASMR comes from people with kind of shit audio quality.

Back in the day, I remember following sound only ASMR channels. They'd up load like long train ride audio. I wonder how these guys are doing. I never see anything like that anymore. It's all some roleplay shit or some girl sucking and licking stuff. Ugh
Yeah Asim is nuts. Not my favorite barber in India but serves as comic relief.I'm surprised no one has posted this one yet. This channel's name is "Home ASMR Clinic". The only way I can describe it is Baba on meth
Nothing says "relaxing" like a barber beating the shit out of his costumer, with the sounds of cars outside as a bonus.
I'm honestly surprised how that poor guy survives having his neck broken, or having a fucking stake shoved into his spine.
Off the top of my head - Phoenician Sailor, Dr. Adam, Moonlight Cottage, PuddingWhispers, Relaxing Male ASMR.Not sure if it's been done before in this thread, but what are some ASMR channels that you think don't get enough attention that are actually good?
