Lighthearted but wondering if it’s just me. Was watching an ad for a perfume supplier on Facebook. Someone was unboxing three bottles and in each case drummed their fingernails rapidly on the side of each box, then on the glass bottle. I know that ASMR trend is nothing new but it’s fecking everywhere and I find it really irritating 😅 Scrolled through the comments below the video but no-one else seemed to be similarly irked by the tapping. Perhaps I’m just a grumpy millennial… anyone else in that club?
AIBU?
To ask if ASMR fingernail tapping on products annoys you?

Yes. I’d like to cut off all their horrid fake nails as a lesson.

All ASMR makes me feel really tense and angry and like my flesh is crawling. I just don't get it at all, more than that I anti get it. It's rage inducing.

Drives me insane. So bloody unnecessary!

Please tell me what ASMR means... I am clearly old and out of touch

This. All this. My cousin finds it really relaxing, and doesn't understand why all the whispering and weird sounds make me ragey. I don't understand how it can possibly be soothing.

I hate tapping, it fills me with blood boiling rage!
I do appreciate ASMR videos when done properly but these days internet is flooded with stuff that's called ASMR but actually isn't.
I like things such as hair brushing and washing, make up bag rummaging, cleaning and sweeping, art and craft noises.
Any tapping or repetitive sound to me has the opposite effect of what ASMR should be, I hate it (same also with eating/mouth noises).
Luckily there are plenty of ASMR creators who share content labelled as "no tapping".
