IMO, ASMR would be a great way for people to relax and hang out with each other as a group. It has several benefits, just like yoga, but the only issue may be the interest level of other students.
I agree that the Armenian Society for Mosaic Radishes should try to raise its profile.
Sucks to your ASMR!
[del]Make up a flyer[/del] Post something on the school’s [del]message board[/del] Twitter/Facebook/whatever page and see how much interest you get. (yeah, I don’t know how college kids communicate anymore ;))
There are risks here. This is a poorly understood psychological phenomena that can affect people in different ways.
Someone might have a bad experience, go off and do something harmful and the club (and everyone in sight) gets in legal trouble. (Never mind that the cause and effect may not be there.)
I don’t think any college would be happy about young adults playing with their brains in a somewhat sanctioned way.
The default way to avoid lawsuits is to not go there.
To put another way: what one finds relaxing could set another on edge.
Nonsense. The OP is obviously talking about the Argentine Silly Musical Republicans.
If this isn’t about the Atheist’s Society for a Metal Revolution, I have nothing to contribute.
Do you mean people who like (I can’t think of a good way to put this) non-traditional sounds to relax? Sure. Go ahead and set up a club. I don’t see how it’s different from a guitar group or DnD or stamp collecting. People who are interested will come. Those who aren’t, will not.
I meant Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response
The first rule of Frisson Club is: you do not talk about Frisson Club.
Is that like GPS where it tells you automatically what latitude and longitude you are at?
Useful thing, that GPS. I heartily approve of more if it at college.
The first rule of using a relatively obscure acronym is: define the relatively obscure acronym.
So, I’m curious, what would you do at meetings? Split up into pairs and whisper in each other’s ears? Could be fun if you got the right partner.
Now, this ASMR Club won’t include any touching, just in case if people aren’t comfortable with it. However, there are several other ways to trigger ASMR senses without touching someone else.
I’d make everyone sit or lay down on a yoga mat in a room with or without lights. Then, I’ll play an ASMR video clip from YouTube. My main goal is to make everyone feel comfortable as possible. Then, we’d have a short group discussion about it.
Overall, this club will focus on relaxation & stress relief.
On an extra note, our club events will include fundraisers & open ASMR video sessions.
That’s where problems will lie. Get consensus on what videos to show rather than spring any old thing that some uploader claims is ASMR. I swear, some of them treat ASMR like sort of an audio version of Rule 34.
You’ll want to stay away from any videos with the potential of having the opposite effect on anyone. Sudden LOUD noises, for example.
I’ll watch the videos beforehand: Problem Solved
this is exactly what college is for. OP, ignore the naysayers and go for it!
Though ASMR is ostensibly not a “sexual” activity/response, you may attract individuals who are looking for that sort of thing.
