If I'm right, I hope it's something that both says something about our generation, like the Quarantine Generation. It shows that we stay at home more than anyone and have gone through the Coronavirus crisis. Cuspers and older members would be known as Quaranteens.
I definitely predict combating climate change will play a role in this crisis in the coming years. We're rebuilding the system, so we might as well build one that's completely eco-friendly.
I had mixed feelings about the second one too (even while writing it).
I think Homelanders will still be the main name, but "Quarantine Generation" might be the most famous nickname for the generation, especially for the older camp of Homelanders (2003-2014).
The nickname for the younger camp of Homelanders (2015-date to be determined), however, is not really known yet. It's only 2020 and the oldest "younger Homelanders" are only five.
The entire Millennial/Homelander transition (1997-2008) can be called "Zoomers", as they were likely the ones who used Zoom during the coronavirus crisis.
