I believe this is called reclamation and it’s one of the most powerful aspects of capitalism, it’s really frighteningly resilient.

Edit: Commenter below is correct I meant recuperation

Recuperation

I don't believe reclamation has a particular political definition, though leftist projects will often speak of reclaiming things from capitalist culture, which is "reverse recuperation" or what the Situationists called détournement.
