The new Twitch meta appears to be changing, and Mizkif clearly isn't ready for it. The prominent streamer had his followers in stitches as he discovered fellow Twitch star Indiefoxx pushing an increasingly popular form of ASMR streaming.
Yes, Indiefoxx appears to be heralding the dawn of a farting ASMR trend, which Mizkif learnt about on opening her stream.

He was dismayed to see that the sometimes controversial streamer had set up a 'fart goal' for her subscribers.
"So if 700 people subscribe, she farts. If 370 people subscribe, she gave you eye contact while she licked the ear," Mizkif explained, referring to a synthetic ear that Indiefoxx uses to initiate her sensory sounds.
Mizkif's viewers were equally confused, with one saying in the comments: "Wtf stop."
Another added: "I'm gonna throw up."

This came a day after the 26-year-old stumbled onto Indiefoxx's stream (strange how he keeps doing that) and stopped dead after seeing what she was doing.
Mizkif, who has over 1.4 million followers, was discussing the 'competition', as he sees it, between female streamers on Twitch, particularly mentioning Indiefoxx and her history with Amouranth.
The pair have started competing for subscribers and cash by wearing tight leggings and licking their mics in an ASMR fashion, often moaning and doing plenty of other things that make you want to point out to them that there are literally children on Twitch.

However Mizkif's take on it was: "Their competition is great, I think it's the funniest thing ever.
"Indiefoxx clearly has hatred for Amouranth."
He was cut short after opening Indiefoxx's stream, which she now often does in the ASMR section.
She was in a pose that she calls 'ear licking yoga pose with face cam' which - as the video shows - is quite striking.

Mizkif was so surprised at the content that he leapt out of his chair, hands-on-head, and walked off.
ASMR has become the dominant streaming meta after hot tub streams were previously considered the most popular type of Twitch stream.
Broadcasters had managed to work out a way around Twitch's contextual exemptions for wearing swimsuits, by streaming in a hot tub in their bedroom.

Twitch for its part reacted by creating a whole new category for Pools, beaches & hot tubs, and made clear that 'being found to be sexy' was not against their rules.
However, since they did that, it's now ASMR that's surging ahead in popularity on the platform.
Indiefoxx and Amouranth have clearly taken the form to a whole new level, and it looks like Indiefoxx might be about the one to push it too far.
That wouldn't be new for the streamer, she's been regularly suspended from Twitch for sexual content. She has however been suspension-free since April. There's a fair chance this farting ASMR might change that.
But, since the move to a new category, the 'hot tub meta' has dipped in popularity, while a particular style of ASMR stream has boomed.
