what she means: the beastie boys band canonically exists in the star trek
reboot universe and jim kirk canonically enjoys the song "sabotage" (if nothing
else from their discography). however, theres a conflict here since the song
"intergalactic (by the same band) references star trek and more specifically
spock not once, but twice, with the lyrics like a pinch on the neck of mr spock
and "super educated im smarter than spock". if the beastie boys exist in the
rebootverse, does "intergalactic" exist also? and if so, are the aforementioned
Iyrics simply omitted or transformed into a seperate in-universe scifi reference
to maintain the song's theme?

son after a fictional vulcan from an earth song
I love this take. It reminds me of like that picture of a guy in a hoodie and sunglasses from the early 20th century, or when an older show or movie has a line that seems to refer to the name of something that hadn't been invented at the time, but it's actually referring to something else.
Or like when they fix time travel paradox in a story by faking an 'inescapable' event.

Plot twist, the Beastie Boys are aliens and/or time travelers

It's perfect.

Kirk himself was mentioned in B-Boy Bouillabaisse from the epic 1989 album Paul's Boutique.
