ASMR Vintage VHS Documentary🤘 Riffs & Rifts: The Pistols N' Posies Story

Shout out to my fellow lactose intolerants 🤘

I’ve probably (head)banged on about it a fair amount, but as a former teenager in the 1990s, I used to get ASMR watching VHS tapes of shows recorded off the television (and back in my day we only have four channels, so, y’know). There was something about them, especially when the quality started to degrade, that was comforting – the variable sound quality, different audio tracks fighting for dominance, the glitches and hard cuts due to ads, and the overshoot of ads (which only served to make the tapes a time capsule of sorts). I’ve tried to recreate that effect a few times, but I thought I’d have a go at trying to make a documentary to elicit some of the same responses. 🤷‍♀️

And, again, being a former teenager in the 1990s, I listened to a lot of rock music. Grunge specifically, YEAH I know 😅. Rock was just different back then, I dunno… But I thought I’d combine those two parts of my origin story into this spoof documentary about a made up band. I think it came out okay? Which means I’m feeling very insecure about it… So I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, and depending on the response I may release the full music video (i.e. if you like it)... but I'm even more insecure about the cringe weaved into that silliness! 😬

🎙 What is ASMR? 🎧

ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is synaesthesia of the soul. It’s a relaxing feeling, it’s a tingling down the spine, or it’s simply a sleep aid. Whether it’s being ‘held’ by someone you have confidence in, or ‘looked after’ by someone with authority, or just feeling ‘safe’ with someone you trust, it uses audio-visual triggers to enable you to let go of your worries and stresses – even just for a bit.

📽 What is FPC? 🎞

FPC (first person cinema) takes all the relaxing elements of ASMR but has much more of a focus on immersion and the suspension of disbelief. It’s kinda like being the main character in your own short movie, with popular figures you know and love, or entirely created worlds – just for you. There won’t be any visible mics or traditional triggers in these videos, and they will seem more unintentional than the usual ASMR videos – but they are unique and relaxing experiences designed to transport you to different places, worlds, and times.

Disclaimer: This video is intended for relaxation. Any views, opinions, or advice expressed is purely for the purpose of entertainment, and to induce tingles through ASMR. These videos are not a substitute for traditional medicine, therapy, or any other professional medium, and should not be treated as such! Take all the advice with a pinch of salt, and certainly don’t take it to heart. That being said, please enjoy them, benefit from them, and hopefully get those warm, tingly feelings. Oh, and it’s not for kids.
