What's wrong with The Zeros?
It's simple, easy, and correct.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think that can apply to any era, and that's because of the people saying it, not what it's called. Twentys, Forties, Sixteys, Sephenties, Eihgtys, etc. Catch my drift?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, well I was just trying to point out that "Zeros" isn't any harder to spell than some of the other ones (e.g. Eighties). :P

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I understand what you are saying, but I still don't see how it is much different than any other time period.

Results 1 - 10 of about 16,700,000 for eighties
Results 1 - 10 of about 22,000 for eightys

I realize that there are relatively less hits for "eightys" than there are for "zeroes", but I'm just trying to say that people will always spell it wrong. If that's the case, spelling shouldn't be a factor when deciding the new name.
