It's a good method until they want to feature said past in the actual show: Voyager and Tom Paris' obsession with 50s cars.

Now, I will say it's more than plausible to be into a specific niche from a certain century, and Paris being into the scifi movies of the 1950s 400 years later tracks against, say, my personal interest in Carribean Piracy 1650-1730. It's not just a general vibe from 400 years ago, it's a specific place, time, and vehicle. But Voyager did it weirdly, by first saying Paris really loved old 50s scifi movie serials but then changed it to being how he's so into cars from America. I think it's possible to have a very narrow niche from 400 years in your own past, but showing it involves way more groundwork than Trek was willing to put in.

Of course, now that I write all that out, I feel like Paris' 50s scifi movie serials obsession was 1000000% legit compared to the cars and extrapolating that to space races.
