What is Frisson?
Have you ever felt a sudden, passing sensation of excitement, a shudder of emotion from an epic moment of a song, or a climax of a movie? That is what is called "frisson", a word rooted from the French word meaning "Goosebumps" or "Shiver". It has been linked to rises in dopamine levels which is, in turn, linked to your outlook towards others.
Frisson is a physical reaction, it's not just about "that hit me right in the feels." Unless you get a physical tingle/chills/goosebumps/shudder, it does not belong in this subreddit. Please consider /r/aww for happy submissions and /r/baww for sad submissions if they're not frisson-inducing.

The outro of this song gives me the most insane goosebumps, like full on waves through my body, almost feels like I'm floating. The way it builds up to that point throughout the song after how heavy it is, I heavily recommend it

I would like to shout out about this artist. I first found out about them with the game Fe which was about a little wolf/creature lost in the woods trying to find its way. The music made the game come alive and it caused some emotions when playing due to the music, of course, the music's timing was important too. Anyway, check them out maybe. You might find some titles that you know of already! Interestingly enough though, after hearing their music, I could spot them out from some other games due to their style of music...

[Story] [video] I just want to share a story
I just had the most amazing frisson experience in a while. It was an intense visualization of energy pouring out of me. Kind of like if I grew angel wings or was turning Super Saiyan. I imagined bursts of energy and more feelings of frisson was hitting me. Like goku

[thought] [meta] Is tightness of cheeks frisson?
For as long as I can remember, when I experience something moving/beautiful etc (often music but not always) I will feel a chill, but it is always in the form of my cheekbones feeling like they are tightening up. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a form of frisson? Is this ASMR?
