It seems to me that when people hear “ASMR” they picture someone pouring sand into a bucket or chewing mashed potatoes or something. Those have their place but the real shit for me are these fantasy-leaning, themed environment ASMR vids with titles like “Victorian Era Ambience - Soft Rain Sounds, Horses, Crows, Bell Sounds” or “Old Library Sounds”. They’re accompanied by slightly animated CGI images kinda like a video game menu screen. I think I first developed a taste for this kinda stuff watching my older brother play Resident Evil 2 as a kid. The sound design and visuals were so transportative. I was thrilled. A lot of my pastimes, in one way or another, are about transporting myself mentally to another time and place. These are a great assist.
