No, it's not bad. It makes noise because oil is being forced into and out of holes in your damper - when you squirt water out of a squirt gun or a syringe, you hear much the same sound.

but why is it doing it now, and it wasnt before?

it could be because your oil and/or dampners are now broken in, my jr T has squished since i got it brand new

Did you get the fork serviced? Usually lighter oil makes forks go 'squish'

My Z150 never made any noise until I slowed up the rebound while the marathon started making noise after it got broken in.
