TNG started as an 80s show and went into the 90s. It first aired in 1987, still during the Cold War, and had 4 seasons out before the Cold War is usually considered as ended. Three seasons aired after the Cold War. It was utopian even before the Cold War had ended, not just after and not because of its ending.
