Name ideas for 90s rock covers band

I'm in a 90s rock covers band that hasn't gigged yet but will shortly be ready to. Our set list contains mainly British and North American upbeat rock covers, from the likes of REM, Reef, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Cranberries, Alanis Morrisette, Skunk Anansie, Ocean Colour Scene, Oasis, Blur, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Republica, Elastica, Alice in Chains, Lenny Kravitz, Suede and some others.

We haven't agreed on a name and I am totally lacking in inspiration. The guitarist wants to call the band 'The Coverheads' but I'm not keen on having the word 'covers' in the name.

Any ideas people?

I liked the New Nineties suggestion. Was also going to suggest working in an internet reference (someone beat me to it)... but throwing a "dot" in there could be cool. Alt.90s? Alt.net? Alt.world? Ha, I'm probably on my own here. Good luck!

I used to play in a band called Slack Control Wizards. It's a line from a story about the physical building of the Internet written by Neal Stephenson. For extra crunchiness, it was published in Dec 1996, right in the middle of your decade of choice. You're welcome to use it. PS: It's still a good read.
