The selection of streaming entertainment for enhanced sensory experiences constitutes a niche area within media consumption. It involves curating content choices on platforms like Netflix to align with altered states of perception. Examples include choosing visually stimulating nature documentaries, comedic animations known for their absurdist humor, or musically rich concert films.
The motivation behind these viewing habits often stems from a desire to heighten enjoyment, reduce anxiety, or explore alternative perspectives through media. Historically, recreational substance use and entertainment have been intertwined, with audiences seeking experiences that complement or amplify the effects of intoxication. The availability of streaming services has broadened access to a diverse range of content, increasing opportunities for personalized and readily accessible altered sensory experiences.
