People get the feeling of ASMR from various triggers. And the science on ASMR is basically nonexistent, so our understanding of it is so far based on anecdotes from around the internet. Some - perhaps most - people don’t get it at all. How ASMR works varies greatly from person to person. The term quickly caught on, as people finally had a way to reference the pleasurable feeling they had been experiencing.
