This is not exactly a new community, but it is one I created a few months ago and it is currently dead. Hopefully you guys help me with that:

!frisson@lemmy.world

This is a community for frisson inducing content.

What is frisson?

Frisson is a phenomenon that causes a sensation of chills or tingling on the skin of the lower back, shoulders, neck, and/or arms. It can be triggered by experiences with music, poetry, videos, beauty in nature or art, eloquent speeches, and the practice of science.

    I disagree with this. Sure, some things are personal, but some things are very likely to give you shivers. For example, this version of creep from The voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC64ZPJXMGU

    All 4 judges got shivers. Everyone to whom I showed this video got shivers. There is no “memory or emotion linked with the trigger”. It is just harmonies that for some reason, are shiver inducing.
