I try not to judge anyone’s taste in music, and the song is fine, but I think it was an objectively bad choice for a space show about the future.
Classical, orchestral style music as used most of the other show intros doesn’t really age, as it’s already a very old and neutral style. The STE theme starts and it instantly dates the show to the 90s (even though it was an early 2000s show).
It was even poorly received at the time, which is why they modified it to drop the original drums and include a faster tempo percussion and orchestral backing, starting in season 3.
What’s crazy is that STE has a more classical theme song. They just only use it for the ending credits afaik. And it still has some stupid electric guitar because its the 2000s and its the FUTURE.
So you dislike the thing that I like. Well, well. Guess what? I absolutely despise the things that you like. And the things you love? I abhor them. You must be a brute, a philistine, a barbarian, not only to have such an uneducated palate, but to have the foolishness to admit it. Ha ha, truly! This person has different tastes! Very bizarre but also absolutely wrong.
And Enterprise had a great opening theme song, sadly they decided to play it over the closing credits. Faith of the Heart is raspy and bland and sounds like an advertising jingle.
