    Also I still say Kirk being a rocker fucking fits yo.

    Except that it’s like calling you a rocker because you listen to Vivaldi. Star Trek used to pretend music ended with classical. Then J.J. decided to pretend it ended with the Beastie Boys.

    Now don’t get me wrong, I like the Beastie Boys and Sabotage is a terrific song… but it would be a weird quirk like Alex listening to Beethoven in A Clockwork Orange, not a sign that he’s a rockin’ rebel.

      Eh true, but you hit on what drove me so fucking crazy in…basically all of it. The only listen to music thats already classic by our standards. Music thats classic by our standards. I hated that.

        On the plus side, if music’s been classic for 300 years, there’s a decent chance it’ll still be classic in another 300 years. It’s a bit unusual to be a fan of Gregorian chant now, but not shocking.

        On the other hand, if something’s been a classic for 30 years, chances are it’ll be a footnote for music historians in another 300.

        It did annoy me in other Trek shows, but it was only in the J. J. movie where it was meant to show ‘Kirk is a badass kid.’ When Data played in a string quartet on TNG, it wasn’t meant to show how cool Data was.
