With this being the second acknowledgment that Beastie Boys exist in the Star Trek universe, I always hoping they will have a line in which Mr. Spock admits his parents named him after the Mr. Spock referenced in “Inter-galatic”. Spock is clearly familiar with their music and even seems to admire them. That would be a great backstory. His human mother and vulcan dad both discussed what to name their son. They want a name that references both culture. His mom reference this old earth son about a space man. His dad likes that “Spock” ends in “K” like his name, which is apparently a big deal for vulcans. So he ultimately say “Spock” is a logical choice.
