resurge

Come back strongly

To resurge is to rise again or experience a resurgence—a return to strength, activity, or prominence after a period of decline: Interest in vinyl records has resurged among younger listeners.

The verb is less common than its noun form resurgence, but serves the same function: describing something that was dormant or diminished coming back with renewed force.
