Changing definition

I get the feeling that this article is not really describing the term ASMR as it is most frequently used today. The boom in ASMR popularity is around what I might call imaginary touching, the best example being imaginary massage. People find this audio and/or visual experience to be extremely soothing, although they are embarassed to let others know that. I think this article describes the developing definition of ASMR: https://mashable.com/article/asmr-youtube-videos-shame --Westwind273 (talk) 02:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to ASMR Article

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 7 January 2025 and 2 May 2025. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): HarmoniousHumor (article contribs).

I added a subsection under "Triggers" titled "Mukbang" to explain how this form of video content incorporates ASMR triggers like chewing, swallowing, and crunching.

For my second edit, I updated the "Music" section by adding a clearly written paragraph about Holly Herdon's song "Lonely at the Top" and how it includes ASMR sound effects like soft whispers, clicking, and fabric sounds. I also replaced the excessive citations with one reliable source from Refinery29.

For my last edit, I added a bullet point to "Triggers" mentioning an "unlikely trigger" being laughing and smiling.

Added citations to citations needed

I have made some citational additions and edits to the article to assist in filling the tagged citation needed paragraphs.

1. doi:10.7717/peerj.851 was referenced twice in article[[1]], so I removed the one that was referenced to only once and replaced it with the other already existing citation.
2. I added doi:10.3390/s22031264 (currently reference 24 in article) for ASMR#Triggers section under natural sounds, including rain or firewood burning.
3. I added doi:10.18061/emr.v13i1-2.6012 (reference 18) to article section ASMR#Variance. Paper was undertaken at Ohio State University and includes extensive study of comments made on ASMR, and categorises people into specific 'control groups'. It was the most relevant paper to the paragraph where it has been referenced. (Ref already existed - I replaced refs I added with pre-existing ref.) 11wallisb (talk) 01:56, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe these references are legitimate. Would be happy to have them looked over by somebody else for confirmation to make sure they meet WP:RS/PS.

Will update this if I find more references for remaining citation needed tags in article. Thanks! 11wallisb (talk) 17:57, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

4. Added doi:10.1016/j.concog.2023.103584 to ASMR#Personal_attention. Paper discusses topic relevant to this paragraph. 11wallisb (talk) 20:38, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I removed several instances of reference duplicates (New York Times, Manduley Aida, Ohio State) - I kept the archived versions and changed the others to ref name of the archived citations per WP:CS#Duplicate_citations. 11wallisb (talk) 22:33, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
