* FutureMusic: The Music/BeastieBoys are now considered "classical". Ironically, Scotty doesn't like Music/PublicEnemy because it's "''too'' old-fashioned."

* GaleForceSound: Taken to the LogicalExtreme: both [[spoiler:the ''Franklin'' and Starbase Yorktown, using "Sabotage" by the Music/BeastieBoys]]. While not 100% accurate, as they use [[spoiler:the music broadcasted over VHF frequencies]], the editing makes it look like this (provided you forget about SoundInSpace). Works exceptionally well in case of [[spoiler:Yorktown, the activation of its powerful transmitters being synced to the MetalScream in the song]].

** Likewise, Spock has no problem quoting Shakespeare, to [=McCoy's=] annoyance. He also apparently has no problem with the Music/BeastieBoys.

* ThePowerOfRock: Spock comes up with the idea of using radio jamming to disorient Krall's fleet, but they need a signal to broadcast. [[spoiler:Cue the Music/BeastieBoys.]] Judging from the reactions of the characters, the music itself is broadcast on the ship and Yorktown as well. (The trope's best shown as the biggest explosion occurs right at a MetalScream.)

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]: Chekov seems to have developed this, though there aren't many examples of his conquests seen.
** Averted with Kirk. Despite him chasing {{Cat Girl}}s or {{Green Skinned Space Babe}}s in the previous movies, being TheCaptain on a lengthy deep space mission means [[LonelyAtTheTop he can't get involved with a crewmember]], and even his interactions with Kalara and Jaylah are chaste. [[YouNeedToGetLaid No wonder he's seriously contemplating a desk job.]]

Renamed to Birthday Beginning per TRS. Removing examples were the story didn't begin with a birthday.

* OffscreenAirplanePullup: Because the ''Franklin'' wasn't designed with atmospheric flight in mind, the ship can't take off from its cliffside perch, and has to fall down said cliff to pick up enough speed for the thrusters to provide lift. Right as it reaches the bottom of the cliff, you see the ship nose-up like it's trying to pull up, but it keeps falling straight down regardless and falls out of view. A few seconds later, the ship races overhead as if atmospheric flight was trivial.

* OutsideContextProblem: Krall's fleet of swarm ships. They're too numerous for phasers to destroy many of them, they're too small and nimble for torpedoes to lock onto them, and they have tech that lets them pass straight through shields. They behave in much the same way as [[PiranhaProblem piranhas in movies do]], and can destroy a starship in minutes.

** The swarm ends up on the receiving end when the ''Franklin'' gets involved, as it not only has a means to disable the swarm's coordination (getting VHF on a high-tech starship is trivial when the ship has a 20th-century "boombox" stereo on board), but since it uses armor instead of shields for defense, the biggest chunk of damage it takes in the film[[note]]not counting the wear-and-tear that sitting on a cliff for 100 years must have done to it[[/note]] is when [[BarrierBustingBlow ramming a bulkhead]], which would obliterate a more "modern" ship like the ''Enterprise'', does [[ScratchDamage cosmetic]] damage to the ''Franklin''.
** The aforementioned boombox is itself an OCP, as it's not very likely you'd find one that far into the future when they're already ancient by 21st-century standards.

* {{Technobabble}}: When discussing how to defeat Krall's swarm.
-->'''Spock:''' Captain, the flight patterns of bees are determined by individual decisions. Krall's swarm formations are too complex not to rely on some form of unified cyberpathic coordination. I surmise that if we--\\
