Meanings

  1. (neologism, uncountable) A subgenre of ASMR content intended to be sexually stimulating or appealing.
    • However, this couldn't be further from the truth, and ASMRotica makes up only a tiny piece of the ASMR community. 2019 February 12, Mark Andrew Choi, “Sucks to your ASMR”, in The Arrow, Westlake High School, Westlake, CA, page 16:
    • When it comes to traditional ASMR, every view, take or comment comes with the same question: is this sexual? Should I be turned on? ASMRotica makes it easy: yes. 2015 August 15, Kathryn Lindsay, “Inside the Sensual World of ASMRotica”, in VICE:
    • Where mainstream ASMRtists don’t appreciate comments that refer to sexuality in any way, the ASMRotica subgenre welcomes these kind of viewers (Lindsay 2015: online). 2019, Maria Isabel Bode, "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) as a marketing tool: An examination of the online phenomenon’s potential in the promotion mix of slow tourism destinations", thesis submitted to The City University of Applied Sciences, page 25
