I don't think i've ever heard anyone say that, but i had my first experience with ASMR through something completely mundane: Listening to music with good bass headphones on.

The high frequency percussion of albums like these, would result in a feeling like a direct brain massage:

Infected Mushroom - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2i_xOu4gk

It was 8 more years until i found that ASMR videos that did the same.

I enjoy it a lot more at open air parties. Tingling sensations all around ;)

I wonder if you were experiencing the related, but different phenomenon of frisson.

I get that too with certain music, but the brain massage effect is distinct from that. :)
