Did you know...

...That ASMR is somewhat related to the religious extasy?

You see, what people call ASMR is most likely the mostly unresearched (because it's not easy to measure) sense of presence.

Which is, by itself, not a sensory function, but a cognitional one.

The cortex for this function is placed equilaterally with Broca's zone. It also can react to non-specific stimuli and give the effect of "someone being near" (the actual reason for the "there is someone out there" experiences in cases drugs are not involved).

Why I think ASMR is related? Easy to understand. All of the mentioned stimuli are received, when the user has someone entering his private space (or creating the illusion of such entrance, as, for example, whisper or blowing frequencies are impossible in long distances without the electronic equipment that doesn't exist in our natural habitat).

Based on that, I make two predictions:
1. The effect is the most detectable by socially awkward people who are not used to people in their private space.
2. This feeling has some connection with sexual excitement, just like the sense of shame does. Details for this relation are, however, unpredictable to me.

...That drama has nothing to do with the whirlwind of emotions?

The literature as science denotes three modes of narrative: Epos, Lyric and Drama. Incidentally, those resonate the most with people of particular constitutions. Of course, everyone enjoys all of them, but there are nuances only they can feel, or rather, truly relate with.

Epos is the stories of action, the paragon would be any kind of heroic epos where big sweaty men stab each other with phallic swords and spears for a cause so petty you can see they really just needed a reason to start prick waving. Another perfect example would be stealth-action or FPS games. Of course, beloved by athletes.

Lyric, coming from the songs, are the mode of narrative that focuses on the feeling of the author or character, and as such is most commonly seen in poetry. The lyrics of a song are named like that for the same reason - singing conveys feelings better than talking and feelings better than theories. Beloved by empathetic and emotional pyknics.

And, last but not least, Drama. Drama is the mode most often associated with the word "narrative" itself. It is the mode that describes the dialogue and monologue, including those of the author. Even my own post is dramatic monologue by definition.
But just as all theatric dramaturgy is written in the form of drama, the pinnacle of such narrative would be the focus on character's thoughts, as opposed to feelings and actions. Of course only schizoids can truly enjoy the masterpieces of exreme approach for drama, for example:

Notice how protagonist ponders about his own feelings, yet rather than actually feeling them, he thinks about his own disposition.

So for examples Monogatari series is drama with small lyrical and epic elements (I mean, there are no pures in literature, we're all humans here), while Senki Zesshou Symphogear is lyrical epos with severely lacking dramatical element (as in, the dialogue served epic and lyrical purpose and bears little to no thoughts in it).

Other meaning of the word drama is the genre that has everyday life as its setting. Also nothing to do with emotion.
