    I suppose this is a semantic difference - in my experience, slumming used non-ironically describes poor or impoverished behavior or actions (or rather, ones that are stereotypically associated with the poor and impoverished in the culture they’re drawn from), so from several directions you’re making a quite literal value based statement here.

      If you’re familiar with the concept of “prestige tv,” I think Old Trek is vastly more similar to “prestige” than Nu-Trek. That’s what I meant.

      There are countless “prestige” shows I think are terrible, and likewise countless low-brow shows I think are tremendous.

      But again, what I personally want from Trek is more on the prestige side. That’s it. That’s all I meant.
