Trees are trees, but trees aren’t forests. And a trees don’t have nearly the ecological impact of forests. In fact, in the U.S. and around the world we have the problem of way too many trees, which is causing apocalyptic ecological damage, because they’re the wrong kind.

Cutting down all those trees in a tree farm isn’t hurting the environment very much for the same reason that randomly planting a bunch of trees for a tree farm doesn’t help the environment, which is why conservation is so important.

Yes. A great many people believe exactly that.

I mean… the best way would probably be tape or archival optical.

Out of your reach, I know.

I don’t personally include VOY or ENT as NuTrek. The guy I’m arguing with, OP, did.

However, I wonder if it's starting to become a bit like "Modern" in reference to art or architecture

You mean like referencing a specific time period instead of just “recent”? Well sure… but that would be specific to which Nu-thing you’re talking about, not “Nu” itself. Even your example of “Modern” refers to entirely different time periods and time scales depending on whether you’re referring to art or architecture. 1890 was part of the “Modern art” period but “Modern architecture” is wouldn’t exist for another 40 years.

Nu-metal was popularized in the 90’s but Nu-prog wasn’t until the mid 2000’s.

And in all of these cases, the terms were coined with the term NU to mean “new” at the time they were named. Nu-metal is old now, but it was new when they named it that and is why they named it that. So whether you define “NuTrek” as post DS9 or the movies or the current batch of discovery-era shows, you’re still using “Nu” to mean new, recent, or modern, not just in its time period of release but new in that the approach to them has changed with the times.

I don’t think anyone is using “NuTrek” to specifically compare it to NuMetal.

A rudimentary understanding of the English language and the ability to read context cues I guess?

Whether or not they’re using it pejoratively is immaterial to the fact that it means “new”.

This is what it is referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_metal

Yes and the “Nu” in NuMetal means “New”.

Everything after DS9 is NuTrek because it’s the most modern group of Star Trek shows. The movies are not NuTrek because they’re just blockbusters movies. NuTrek is not inherently pejorative or negative. The “Nu” in “NuTrek” is being used the same way it was used in NuMetal (which also wasn’t pejorative. It’s just new and fundamentally different from old trek. Just like NuMetal is newer and fundamentally different from Metal.

Because that’s the definition and it’s not used to mean anything else.

The prefix "nu-" is an informal term used in British English to indicate a modern or updated version of something. For example, "nu-metal" music is a term that uses the prefix. The word "nu" originated in the 20th century and comes from the word "new".

I’d still like to know exactly what it is you thought it meant.

It in fact does. Not sure what it is you think it means.

It actually does. At least in this context.
