I agree. While the Gold, Silver, and Bronze era are reasonably defined the name of what comics after 1985 are called is a mess. The 2008 Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide called everything from 1985 on the Modern Age but DC has hit the reset button several times since 1985 (Zero Hour/Hypertime, Infinite Crisis, Flashpoint, Convergence, and whatever comes down the pipe later on)

Thankfully Flashpoint was the only one where things "stuck" so we just have New Earth and Prime Earth.
