They’re canon only in a Trek universe, not the Trek universe.
No wait… if history is the same as reality to a point, wouldn’t they still be canon? Like someone could be like “Hey, computer, play me something popular from mid 20th century earth.” And it just happens to find Brass Monkey?
I know I’ll catch flak for this but they’re what got me into Star Trek. I was completely unfamiliar with it and the movies were fun so I got into the shows. Obviously they share very little besides a vague aesthetic but the movies were a good bridge for me as a teenager
