The practice of yodeling is making a comeback in Switzerland, and there are even contests and festivals dedicated to the ancient art.
See: Story.
Despite its origins as a method of communication between the ample alpine peaks in that mountainous country, the art fell into disuse as modernity made it seem old-fashioned and kitschy.
According to some, its resurgence may be a sign of yearning for a more traditional identity in a postmodern age.
As for me, I think it's probably just something old that seems new again. These things happen, and quite often.
