What is ASMR?
ASMR, which stands for autonomous sensory meridian response is a growing trend on YouTube. These sounds are very relaxing and are triggered by placid sights and sounds including accents, whispers, repetitive sounds and many others. This experience causes a static-like and tingling sensation on the skin which people enjoy. Today, many are turning to YouTube to watch and listen to YouTube videos that cause this “tingly” response.
Why ASMR is so Popular

Others do it to help them relax after a long day when they just need something to help them get away from reality. Now, since ASMR is very calming and relaxing more and more people are becoming aware of ASMR resulting in more popularity.
