For some reason, the bokeh in this pic reminds me of the Goo Goo Dolls album Dizzy Up the Girl, even though I don’t own nor have I really ever listened to it.

Instead of googling, I’m going to ask: what is bokeh?
@light_blue_fables - Blurry
@light_blue_fables - @I_love_Burma - Indeed. Bokeh is lens blurriness caused by something being (intentionally) out of focus. Longer length lenses and wider apertures, as well as full frame sensors help quite a bit. Back bokeh is generally considered pleasing, whereas front bokeh is usually distracting or annoying, with few exceptions (second picture here). Ease of getting more bokeh is actually while I moved from a crop factor camera to a full frame some time ago. It just adds so much more depth by, ironically, lowering depth of field.
