(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.)

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend.
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AI objections withdrawn.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.
I've always loved the punk aesthetic, and I wish it would make a comeback.
Damn, Bones.
Okay, now I can see how William Shatner was hot. It all clicked.
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.
Something something back at the academy, I...
