18 What Does "Bubblegum Crisis" Refer To?
Conventional fan definition: It describes the state of technology in MegaTokyo (and the world)... Like a very big bubblegum bubble, surface tension in the city has been rising and rising, and it is about to reach a point where nothing will stop a collapse or blow-up... (ie. Boomers going rampant, etc.) Thus, it's a Bubblegum Crisis... Simple, isn't it?

A Bubblegum Crisis is what happens when you blow a huge bubblegum bubble and it pops and gets all over your face and hair and won't easily get cleaned up. In other words, a wierd and yucky problem that just won't go away. Source : Toshimichi Suzuki, creator of Bubblegum Crisis.
