I mean, isn't the definition of a bubble that it pops quickly? If it slowly loses value over time, its not really a bubble.

There is no consistent definition of a bubble. We have no fundamental reason current valuations have to collapse suddenly.
Is there any definition of bubble that doesn't involve popping? That's literally the metaphor.

I would agree, but i think that is just saying that the current situation is potentially not a bubble. Which may be true. We will only find out after the fact.

I’ve seen it commonly used to refer to any period of high multiples.
