How is Parkour a "fad"?

Parkour is just the principle of travelling on foot efficiencly through the fastest available route by overcoming obstacles along the way using whatever maneuvers are available. It has existed in one form or another for centuries (the original inspiration for its precursor came from indigenous tribes in Africa), and only in the modern era did it evolve into the stylish form people know as "parkour" today. The stylish form people know is actually more known as "free-running", which is more concerned with looking "cool" than being practical.

Given that many of the maneuvers in Warframe are designed to allow for the ability to overcome obstacles to get from A to B as fast as possible, "Parkour" is a perfectly apt name for it.
