transjacking

transjacking is hijacking of a conversation to make it be about trans people, as a way of engaging in transphobia. (Originally seen in 2017 in subreddit /r/gendercynical)
"Every time some random women's issue comes up, some TERF or transphobe will start transjacking the discussion to argue the issue is somehow made worse by the unrelated fact that trans people exist."

trackjacking 

The unauthorized replacing of the original soundtrack of an audiovisual recording, such as a movie or television show, with one designed to substantially alter the original plot and/or characters.

The term "trackjacking" is derived from a conjunction of the phrase “soundtrack hijacking,” and is intended to convey the idea of unauthorized usurpation.

A trackjack is easily distinguishable from a mashup. A mashup combines two preexisting works in a creative way to make a new product through selection and arrangment. A trackjacker adds their own new content to a preexisting work while leaving the preexisting work substantially unaltered.
My friends and I got together last weekend to do some trackjacking. We recorded new dialogue to "My Little Pony: Princess Promenade." You should rent the movie, then watch it on mute while listening to our trackjack on your iPod.

Examples of trackjacking include:

Brad Neely's "Wizard People, Dear Reader"
My Way Entertainment's "The Juggernaut Bitch!!"
Fensler Films' "G.I. Joe PSAs"

Trendjacking 

Trendjacking is a marketing strategy that leverages popular trends to promote a brand. This approach involves incorporating the brand into trending topics, hashtags, sounds, online challenges or events into content to engage audiences and stay culturally relevant.
Trendjacking helped our brand become relevant and increase awareness by tying our product to a trending challenge on Tiktok that was viral.
