“Gay-SMR” is taking over TikTok & it’s fulfilling everything from gay sleepover journeys to kidnapping fantasies
Twitter X for years now, garnering literally millions of views. And with that, a queer subculture of ASMR was born, aptly coined “Gay-SMR”.
Guys began taking listeners on creepy (but supposedly stimulating) journeys such as “sleepovers with your gay best friend”, “after-work boyfriend cuddles”, and even “gay kidnapping” sagas.
Drag queens like Alaska and Katya, and Willam, even jumped into the craze, and beauty influencers turned their makeup tutorials into whispering operas.But now, with social media juggernaut TikTok monopolizing our idle time, “Gay-SMR” has exploded like never before.
The search term “Gay asmr” has received over 39.7 million views on the social media app, which means the whispers, crinkles, and clinks from gay-themed content have struck a (spinal) chord, relaxing homos from coast-to-coast.
