toneh is a measurement of anger about the absurdity in bokeh background blur used by youtubers and vlogers in order to create a so called 'cinematographic' look using a low aperture portrait photo lens on their cameras. The effect was first described by the youtuber Camera Conspiracies and refers to the aesthetics of the youtuber Tony Northrup, hence the name 'toneh'. In his satire response video Camera Conspiracies refers to a self filmed one man outdoor video monologue set to be at a lake - yet no lake nor landscape had been distinguishable in this video because Northrup shot the whole thing with a 1.2 aperture on a 50mm lens full frame equivalent. So the background was blur only hence the high degree of irritating toneh.
"I believe toneh to be a further reaching philosophical and artistic concept. It serves to illustrate the utmost isolation of the individual in modern society, where social media and big corporations act as catalyst of the obliteration of social communitarianism. In Tony’s famous toneh-construct establishing video, we clearly see a contemporary human making a desperate call for help, much like we already saw in other masterpieces such as ‘the scream’ by Edvard Munch or any of Edward Hopper’s works on the theme. Tony will pass to history as one of the seminal figures of american neo expresionism and philosophical solipsism. What a time to be alive!"

THE most beautiful girl you could ever meet. Her personality shines whenever you get to meet her. When you meet her she is a little crazy, but the good kind that cant keep you away. She has long, curly brown hair and she is absolutely gorgeous. She is a little shy at first, but that will eventually blow over. Once you meet a girl like her your life will be complete. She is very straight forward while sometimes having no regard for other people’s feelings. But once you really get to know her you will find her to be intelligent, goofy, loyal, and an all around great person. She is waiting on Mr.Right and i KNOW he will come around. Once she finds that one guy that will treat her right and she doesn't have to feel insecure, she will know it's him. Her smile could stop a man right in his tracks and make him see the beauty in the world. Her laugh makes the worst of days seem so much better. You can talk to her for hours and never get the least bit bored. You can tell her your deepest darkest secrets and she won’t tell a soul. The greatest times you’ll ever have in your life will involve her and you just won’t be able to imagine life without her. You could probably be around her your whole life and always have a brighter day.
Guy #1: Damn she’s hot!
Guy #2: Yea, she’s such a Tanae !!!
