      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.
