I love good old ASMRtists

I feel so warm and fuzzy watching an old VeniVidiVulpes hair brushing video - I can quote her as she talks, I guess. I've rewatched it quote a lot of times and it still gives me a load of tingles and (most importantly) this warm feeling of being at home. Her smile, gentle attitude and serious approach - that's what makes her old videos special.

I love old Brittany ASMR's videos with Zoom (or was it Tascam? definitely not a 3Dio) that are so soft and tingly - especially the doughnut clutch videos. When I see it, I feel nostalgia. Like it was so new and fresh once. Now it's so worn and torn :) still amazing though.

I looooove NeonIndieGirl's whispered videos. They are not perfect in visuals or even audio, but I tingle as crazy to her close-up slow whispers. And birds in the background - they sound like paradise! :) A personal attention video with a scalp massage and a "bag of tricks" is one of my all time favorites. I can re-watch it dozens of times and I feel so cared about.

I've never looked for that particular extra in ASMR videos, but that's what inevitably emerges - the warm feeling of kinda-friendship, one-sided and all virtual, but very very dear.

And when I watch newer ASMRtists that soared up in the skies of popularity really quickly, I sometimes feel upset. I don't feel anything towards them. There's no connection. May be it's just so far. May be. But sometimes I just can't understand how popularity grows. Or maybe it's also a kind of jealousy: I love old faces and feel strange when new ones appear and take all the space out there. Not judging or calling them bad ASMRtists. Not in the world. It's just about my own feelings of ASMR-scape. I love the old ASMRtists.
