As I understand it, fans of the original series (Kirk, Spock) called themselves Trekkies throughout the 60’s, 70’s and most of the 80’s. When The Next Generation (Picard, Riker) gained steam, those fans called themselves Trekkies as well, much to the dismay of the original series fans, who consider the more “pure”.
So, the fans of the original show, the more pure version of Trek, started calling themselves Trekkers to distinguish themselves from the others. Forgive me for going off topic. Hauling the boat for the winter tomorrow and need to deal with the depression.
