Aka Nutrek or new trek. Refers to films and series of Star Trek made from 2009 onwards. Nu-trek is generally controversial with some hardcore Trekkies wanting to burn it to the ground and others showering it with praise. Nu-trek is a term typically used by the former but most Reddit posts about ST will have it somewhere.
Trekkie 1: JJ Abrams and Alex Kurtzman ruined Star Trek. Nu-trek is so political and dramatic and full of lens flares.
Trekkie 2: Nu-trek is quite good actually. I especially love Michael Burnham and the way the Federation is portrayed as less idealistic and more dystopian.
Trekkie 1: *sets phaser to kill*
