I was looking for cool images of Kerli, the estonian pop singer I already told you about in a previous article (click here to read it), because I know she dresses (or they dress her up?) in cool gothic outfits and while searching for Kerli I saw this definition I never hear before" BUBBLE GOTH". The only thing I found about it was this:
"I'm trying to find the perfect balance between light and dark, heavy and playful on my new album. The original Goth kids were very much into romantic things, art and poetry...so I'm trying to make my album like something of a modern day poetry with extravagant soundscapes that transport you into a different reality." -Kerli-
On December 13, it was suggested to Kerli via Formspring that the bear featured in a promotional photo for "Army of Love" should become a mascot. The following day, Kerli tweeted a photo that depicted a cartoon version of the bear featuring the writing "BubbleGoth" designed by Vespertine. The bear's name is I-Loo, but before it became the mascot, it was named Plus.
Now, considering these pictures I found of Kerli..actually is nothing new! Isn't it just a mix between Gothic and Sweet Lolita with a hint of cyber and harajuku maybe? I think there's no need to call it a new goth sub-style as it already exist..don't you think?
However, I love this style and her hair! *-* She looks like gothic version of Barbie!
So pretty and she seems a very sweet person and the music isn't bad at all!
Thumbs up for Kerli!

Kerli makes most of her clothing herself and she also started to call herself ''bubble goth'' soo...
Completely agree, its not a new style at all, its just a mix of some older ones. Not EVERYTHING needs a name.>O<
I wouldn't say it really has much to do with Sweet Lolita at all, Kerli's style. It has some sweeter harajuku influences, but I really don't see much Sweet Lolita in it at all, personally. None of the cutesy candy motifs or copious laces and ruffles.
That's definately not a "new" style. It's kind of ridiculous -not to sound stereotypical- but it's quite...bubbly? I wouldn't really consider it goth.
