The actual answer is that thr next generation being referred to is the generation watching the show. Their parents grew up watching the original, and now they are watching Star Trek for their generation.
I’m pretty sure it was just the next generation/iteration of the show. They played around with Kirk and Spock at the academy and Captain Sulu and probably some other ideas. I think Greenfield like they did was the correct path.
