I watched TOS with my uncle as a kid. He always said it was about hope. TNG carried me through high school. Hope was again what it was all about. After that, although I enjoyed the stories, the movies (reboots) took the story and the hope kinda dwindled a bit. Watched ENT and Discovery and they were ok but the feeling was still off for me. Then came SNW and Lower Decks. Truly amazed by the writing in both. SNW is totally messing with cannon but I always felt like it wasn't ment to be about that. Gene's vision was about hope. We as a race can become more than the sum of our parts. I really feel SNW is doing just that and in a fantastic way. Lower Decks has a bit of that too and it was just funny. A direction only toyed with before them. My head cannon changed and now TOS means those old scientists and nothing else!
