Yup. I think the difference is just in the experience of the DMs, not in any generational difference.Adventure path-type modules have sold extremely well since 3E, and attempts at them in 2E in were also pretty successful. So I don't think anything new is happening. I do think APs are probably more popular with under-40s than over, but not by a huge amount.
The generational difference is likely going to be how many people experience the game as something you do with your friends vs something you do on a virtual tabletop, potentially with relative strangers.
