As for any other language, textbook French isn't exactly what French people speak, and different social classes have their own slang, but the language isn't changing that much.
I'd argue that it's becoming simpler as younger generations have a more limited vocabulary. They also tend to integrate more and more English words (pronounced as French words), as it's something perceived as cool. Interestingly, this is true in all layers of society, including business and politics.
