No. J.J, Abrams likes them but it still never made any sense in any of the scenes they used them. They want to make this "not your daddy's Star Trek," but that was one of the problems.
I thought it fitted well in both scenes as a driving rock anthem.
That's a good point re it also being used in Star Trek 09 - It's funny though that in that film it was used, as you say, as a rock accompaniment to introduce us to the young "rebel" Kirk...
Or so it seemed - fast forward two films and Bones confirms it is actually seen as "classical" music in the future, hence retconning the young Kirk into a complete square trundling along in that ancient pre-warp, land bound contraption listening to our equivalent of Beethoven or suchlike! Not so rebellious now 😂

I will now always be thinking of this whenever I watch that scene in the future. Lol
Not really. They seemed to suggest that the music would override the telepathic communication of the 'bees' by being louder than their signal, but why does that make them explode en masse? Weren't the bees being 'driven' by aliens who, presumably, would not spontaneously commit suicide on hearing distracting music..?

At first it seemed like they inadvertently colliding into one another in flight while chasing the Not-Enterprise. But then the Yorktown space station played the music and a huge wave of those things just exploded instantly.

That's actually quite interesting to think about.

Well, if the distracting music in question was a Taylor Swift song.......

@volkstraum: To be very honest, even though I saw STB in the movie theater and twice at home via Redbox, I can't remember a lot of the movie.
