Discovery had so many problems for me: ship flies on magic mushrooms, her mom basically doesn’t care about her anymore by the end of it - the show-starting plot line, and the Klingons look like sweaty orcs.
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”.
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.
I mean, technically everything from TNG onwards would be NuTrek and Kelvin-stuff would be NuNuTrek, or rather Re-Trek, since it’s a reboot.
NuTrek started when they did a full visual reboot, including completely changing the look of the Klingons: TMP.
Then it got worse, when they followed that up with a grimdark shoot-em-up that felt nothing like Trek. These people aren’t even fans of the show!
Who wanted a visual reboot of the Klingons?

Yeah, who wanted this visual reboot of the Klingons between old trek and nutrek?
“Nu” does not mean “New”.
It actually does. At least in this context.
It actually does not.
It in fact does. Not sure what it is you think it means.
It in fact does not. Not sure why you think otherwise.

I’d still like to know exactly what it is you thought it meant.
My brother in christ did you even read the post before commenting? This is what it is referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_metal
The people who call it “NuTrek” are not too lazy to type out “new” they are using it pejoratively.
Whether or not they’re using it pejoratively is immaterial to the fact that it means “new”.
Yes and the “Nu” in NuMetal means “New”.
