Tortured Poets' or Poets? Taylor Swift Meets the Apostrophe Police

I&#x27;m curious about opinions that this is part of a trope or pattern I sometimes notice in English: we can interpret &quot;The Tortured Poets Department&quot; as kind of a more euphonious way of writing &quot;The Department of Tortured Poets.&quot;<p>While &quot;The Tortured Poets&#x27; Department&quot; is also valid English, it changes the meaning slightly from how we usually think of what a Department means. A Department doesn&#x27;t <i>belong</i> to the group of people, instead it <i>consists</i> of them.<p>I&#x27;m not sure if I&#x27;m imagining that this is even a real pattern, or if it is, is there a word for it?
