Oddly, I was thinking the same thing about Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
And then I thought... NAAH. "Grail" is the only common denominator that I
know of that all technical geeks have in common... but now that its <some
obscene number of> years old, I've been on a quest to find another one... a
non-Star Trek one, as Star Trek has so many adherents to various generations
of it...
Anyone?

You're likely to get the kind of response my kids would give:
"Wasn't he with the Beatles or the Stones or some other *old*
band like that?"
Hell, my son considers the Offspring to be "over the hill" and Linkin Park
as starting to lose it...
About 7 years ago, I interviewed someone who listed "Phish" as one of his
interests. I asked him "What is Phish?" and then spelled it for him. The
expressions that swept across his face in one second ran from frank
astonishment, to disbelief, to pity, to a carefully-composed poker face as
he answered, "A musical group that I like".
Food for thought: when I was a kid in the 70s, my father would play his
"big band" records and my brothers and I would roll our eyes and leave the
house. Such lame, ancient music! At the time, those recordings were 30-35
years old...
Ummmmm...
For a kid today, the Stones, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Yes, and
Bowie are far more ancient. Not just in years, but the years do add up...
..'scuse me, I think I hear a bottle of Metamucil calling...
