    Hey, I mostly listen to 30s and 40s jazz, but it was like rock didn’t exist on TNG, let alone something like rap or reggae.

      It’s a missed opportunity to not see Worf casually listening to rock/metal in his quarters.

      I guess they were thinking that classical and jazz seem a little more timeless?

        I think it was more likely a licensing issue. Most classical music and many jazz standards are public domain.

        I don’t know what Abrams’ company paid the Beastie Boys for the right to use Sabotage, but I guarantee you it wasn’t cheap.
