Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"?

  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.

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

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

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

        Okay, sorry to be pedantic, but you’ve said DS9 a couple of times and I just, who categorises them like that? Voyager and Enterprise are both after DS9 and I don’t think most people would consider them “NuTrek”.

        Also, this is a pretty silly argument, you’re right that “nu” means “new” in English. However, I wonder if it’s starting to become a bit like “Modern” in reference to art or architecture. Nu-Metal is actually a pretty old genre these days, and there are newer, more popular ones like Baby Metal.
