(That there is Kirk Thatcher, who wrote and performed the punk song in the movie. He’s also a prolific writer and director, having done a ton of stuff with The Muppets and Mystery Science Theater 3000.)
You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend.
I’ve always loved the punk aesthetic, and I wish it would make a comeback.
Points for TOS punk.
Unfortunately, minus points for AI generation.
That will be . . . eleventy points, please.
This was a meme from about 2 years ago, so I’m not certain it was AI generated back then, but I can’t promise that.
Doubt the heads were, but the lettering on the clothes is textbook AI slop.
Besides, in that episode, McCoy had the mohawk.
Just looks like punk/metal fonts printed/embroidered on uneven surfaces. I am not getting an AI vibe at all
EDIT:
Knockoff or something of Kirk’s jacket:
Logos on Kirk’s jacket:

Logo on Spock’s jacket:
Logo on Spock’s shirt:
No, you’re right - it looks like Spock’s image is reversed for some reason, but on zooming in I can read everything on Kirk’s so - yeah.
AI objections withdrawn. Full points restored.
As you were.
Ah, I can see how not realizing Spock was reversed might lead you to believe the text is AI.
None of that lettering looks AI generated. Which one are you talking about? I think it’s just a good photoshop. Look at Kirk’s shirt. It has really light lettering of “Slash” or maybe something else (hard to tell since his vest blocks the whole word) on a light background. I don’t think an AI could do that.
It’s too old for good AI generation anyways. It’s >2 years old.
Thought of some kind of time travel scenario where they have to participate in a GG Allin concert but that might be better for Archer in a Quantum Leap type thing.
Damn, Bones.
Okay, now I can see how William Shatner was hot. It all clicked.
Something something back at the academy, I…
