Carine ASMR is Changing The Game of ASMR Creation
How Sports & ASMR Mix Perfectly for One Canadian ASMR YouTuber
I don’t know about you, but I cannot sleep most nights since turning into a functioning adult full-time, and with college rolling around I need something to sleep to.
Most nights, I am stressed thinking about a test, or a professor I am afraid to talk to, and a new job along with helping to manage my grandmother’s home.
However, I listen to ASMR and white noise while I sleep and it helps a lot when I can’t sleep at 1 a.m.
ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, has now become a common practice for anyone to listen to at night while winding down and going to sleep.
The first recorded ASMR video was posted in 2009 titled “Whisper 1 — hello” by YouTuber “WhisperingLife ASMR” and since this video others followed, but not to the point where we are seeing the ASMR video industry today.
ASMR as a whole has changed so much since WhisperingLife ASMR posted her first video as 500,000 ASMR content creators are on YouTube according to The Verge website, and there are all sorts of ASMR content that you could scowre through on YouTube, TikTok, or any other social media website with a wide variety of topics.
However, the same cannot be said about sports content, as yes, there is a wide variety of content to choose from, but barely any ASMR videos that dive into a variety of sports topics, highlights, and analyses fans can know nationally and internationally.
Sports content is not broad like ASMR. It’s got its highlights and sporting analysis and even a documentary or two, but ASMR was never really a fresh topic to discuss on an ASMR video.
That wasn’t the case until Canadian, Carine Lalonde, founder, and social media creator of her YouTube channel, CarineASMR, changed the ASMR landscape forever.
Since her first video was posted two years ago, she returned her channel to be about anything and everything related to ASMR. However, her first videos were never published publically, but her first public ASMR video, “My Top 5 NBA City Edition Jerseys (ASMR)” is technically the first video she ever posted on the platform besides a livestream done on Christmas Eve two years ago.
She has garnered massive success with 25,300 subscribers with her most popular video, “(ASMR) Quizzing YOU on NBA teams!” garnering 77,000 views.
Her topics have dove into numerous sporting accounts. From discussing Caitlin Clark’s rise to college success in Iowa to a further analysis of the “Hand of God” goal in the 1986 World Cup, along with UFC videos, international soccer whispers, and even Canadian sports scandals.
Her topics are wide and curated for an international audience, but where she wins on her channel is her exclusive access videos as she is extremely interactive with fans on her channel and has won the world over with her kindness and sense of heart.
Her quiz videos make me think about my plethora of sports knowledge and challenge my brain to answer her calming questions while I am counting sheep.
My sheep usually count like Count Dracula with its A-B-C’s and 1–2–3’s and my brain sometimes doesn’t pick up the questions such as how many points did Kobe Bryant score in a 2006 game versus the Toronto Raptors?
Or who scored a hat trick twice over Christiano Ronaldo and Portugal?
She has a way of making Count Dracula turn into Billy Beane from Moneyball and tries to have me guess what sports team scored goals when.
It’s challenging when trying to study for a Statistics test this semester, which I hope to achieve battling it out, but she is original and fresh to the sports media landscape in a good way.
She quite honestly is one of the best ASMR YouTubers out there and I highly recommend sleeping tonight and listening to her one day talk about sports news while you are trying to go to sleep.
Her latest video, “(ASMR) The Montreal Screwjob Scandal” discusses the 1997 Survivor Series, and I never knew that this was even a scandal until she talked about the topic, and I highly recommend you watch her channel tonight while you sleep.
