A take I saw recently is: if people are still asking "are we in a bubble" then we are not yet in a bubble.

Bubbles occur when undue attention is directed towards something. When people are asking "are we in a bubble", there is no question that we are in a bubble. Nobody pays attention to things aligned to the fundamentals.

That doesn't mean there will be a crash, though. Not all bubbles pop.

I think it'd be truer to say that you can't be sure it's a bubble until after it pops.
