Not a fan of lemmings, since everything we know about them in popular culture is incorrect - they don't commit mass suicide - and is suicide really the image we want for ourselves? @Lemminary has the right idea.

The Lemon Party. π
I like Lemurs, idk
Let's be real ... We're all Lemmits at heart.
Lemmists?
lemmites like how the users of luddy were called luddites
Asking the important questions! I won't deny this has already crossed my mind. I do think lemmings sounds like the best option.
