The ASMR Craze Iceberg Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- I explain ASMR! And in my deep dive into the ASMR “critical analysis” iceberg, I ask: is ASMR harmless, or a tingling symptom of modern society's downfall?!!
Would you believe I haven't slept for the last two days? This video took A LOT LONGER than I thought it was going to take, so if you can, please do like the video (if you liked the video, of course) and subscribe, so I can keep losing sleep over the philosophical considerations of wacky things in media.
Also, I DEFINITELY need some ASMR right now, whether it's bad for society or not 😅.

About me:
I am a 20-somethin’ y.o intellectual crackhead, who like books, poetry, and anything else I like to get into (art, films, philosophy, culture, social commentary etc.). Talking books, I like classics, literary fiction, and sci-fi, but will read anything if it’s bad-funny enough.

Hope you liked the video, do you watch ASMR??
Sometimes I find myself staying awake just to watch ASMR since it's become so much my routine, but if I'm honest with myself I'd probably be out faster without it most nights.
maan me too i waste too much time jus trying to find an asmr video i wanna watch tht night
@@radiohedfan79last night i took 46 minutes to find an asmr video to sleep to and still went back to my main asmr artist 😭
Yo, why are you calling me out like that?
@@UpintheAirft.Zurich cause let’s be real it’s everyone’s struggle once you get too deep into asmr 😂
this video is SO SO well made it’s baffling that it doesn’t have at least a couple million views
Man alive, that's so nice for you to say! You're the hipster of my channel, you can boast that you knew me before I got big (looooool!)
Thanks for this insight
My pleasure, obviously!
omg this needs more views rn
very interesting take. im not sure i can 100% buy (haha) the philosophical bit about consuming/producing. or rather the arendt framing. to me it has much more of a debord/society of the spectacle vibe - which is still about consumerism, but of a slightly different flavour.
anyways, off to watch asmr, cos this girl has to sleep too!
I can see how that could be argued! And there may be some way to interweave both theories, since (at least from the little I remember of Debord off the top of my head, I'mma gonna add it to my reading list!) both ideas don't seem fundamentally mutually exclusive. But that's just a theory...a game theory. Hope you got that sleep!
you’re so underrated wtff
There’s definitely a generational aspect to ASMR. Painting with a very wide brush here but boomers and gen Xers (like me) are very much in the wtf reactionary mode when it comes to ASMR. Probably because we prefer coping with life’s stresses using tried and tested methods such as burying any issues deep down inside and never thinking about them ever until one day we explode. Or drink.
Speaking as an ex-feral child of the 70s I think it’s more of a gen z and alpha thing.
Hypnotherapy as a meme perhaps
For me I just can’t sleep I’m silence. I’ll listen to other things but asmr is in that good area of quiet enough where it won’t wake me and loud enough where I can fall asleep and my mind doesn’t run like crazy. I think even though asmr is a gen z and gen alpha thing. My dad who is a Gen X falls asleep to NPR radio and my old stepmom who was also gen x used to fall asleep to the Tv. So I think even though we watch asmr the older generations have their own auditory ways to fall asleep. That’s just my take on it and observations. Sending 0 hate :)
Oh, I definitely agree with you. The thing is, Gen-Z and Alpha are on average drinking less and are so emotional, that we make up wild, new coping mechanisms. Personally, if it ain't broke, don't fix it - drink and emotional repression all the way haha
i haattteeeeeee chewing asmrs too, its just so annoying but i absolutely love brush sounds
Couldn't agree more 👍
oh god, you’re awesome
wow.
underated
thanks 😆
in america currently it’s more like the idea of middle class is dissolving because we are all living on the cusp of too poor to exist, or alternately living comfortably.
That's a really interesting insight! I suppose the middle between "the extremely poor working-class", "the really poor middle class", and "the rich upper-class/ professional class", would still make the middle-class really poor. That would still make people try to comfort themselves in various good/bad ways to help their bad quality of living.
@@UpintheAirft.Zurich That is very true, I just thought you would appreciate the insight that we are losing an entire class over here, things have been that bad. Have a great day and thanks for the response!
