The weirdest thing to me is that beastie boys have been listened to by characters, and they reference Spock and the Vulcan neck pinch in intergalactic.

Honestly that would be a rather funny scene in a time travel episode.

That one's easy - in The Voyage Home, when they go back to 1986, a busload of people saw Spock neck pinch a guy playing loud music, and Kirk said his name right afterward. Word spread about this and it became a popular urban legend, enough so that the Beastie Boys referenced it in a song 12 years later.

This is the first time I've been mad not to be on Reddit, because I want to spend money to give you something meaningless and gaudy.

This is like how the Sopranos and the Gilmore Girls both reference each other

In software development that's called a circular dependancy!
