Nothing to be trifled with.

In astronomy it is the almost spherical layer of stars surrounding the center hub of our galaxy. A layer in the onion, so to speak.
It is a widening near the core (the centre) of a galaxy and consists of mainly very old stars. Very rare for new stars to form because of the lack of dust and gases between the stars. Surrounding this central bulge is what's called the galactic halo, which is made up of individual stars.

Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?
Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.

How might your view of the milky way be different if the sun were located inside the central bulge?
I'm going to give you both: Reality and fictional. The reality is, if our Sun was in the Central bulge, we wouldn't be alive to know what the sky would look like. As with most Galaxies, the central bulge is a giant Black Hole that devours anything that gets too close to it. However, with that fact aside if we were to be located there, the sky would have billions of stars. In fact, Earth would have no Night or day; it would only have day. There would most likely be a lot of gases, and we would see this as it swirled around us. Though we can see the gas within the Galaxy from earth (with our naked eye. It's part of that cloudy substance that we can see at night,) it is nothing compared to what we would see if we were located in the Central Bulge. At the Central Bulge, the night sky would most likely appear much like a Nebula; different colors of gas that would be easily visible from Earth. Furthermore, as I said, there would be billions of stars (Mostly young developing Stars)
