1984 Book 1 | Chapter 7 - Again at Winston's

Hey there! Welcome to the next episode of Nineteen-Eight-Four! I hope you enjoy it, can listen, relax, and possibly even learn something. Here we enjoy some further spying on Winston, and prying into his mind and ideas. It takes an interesting mind to stand apart from the norm.

What does ASMR Mean?
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson.

ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control. A genre of videos which intend to stimulate ASMR has emerged, of which over 13 million are published on YouTube
(Wikipedia, 2020).

Its basically a tingly and relaxed feeling you get, caused by certain cues we call in the community 'triggers'. #ASMR is a massive trend, its videos, its not a job (asmrtist :O) but originally it describes the feelings of #tingles.
