It's just updated vocabulary usually. As someone in his late 30s I actually have a hard time reading newer works as the language usage is very inspired by modern internet usage. As a millennial I don't use the internet outside of 4chan, Wikipedia, email and work. You need to be an avid consumer of social media type of content to even understand newer books.

I tried reading dungeon crawler Carl because a colleague recommended it. I genuinely didn't understand some passages like a new form of English was used.

I guess this is also the case the other way around. Books from the 1980s and earlier make no sense to younger generations that understand dungeon crawler Carl
