It's not like either word is new but I feel like "bro" and variations like bruh or brah have become way more commonly used in the last decade among younger people as a term of address in contexts where I would have just said dude

This has just reminded me…I called a manger “dude” in a Christmas Day text, years ago. He went on a massive rant about it the following year.

Lol about the elephant hair thing? Or just about dude?

Me calling him dude. It was something like “happy Christmas dude, hope you have a great day”, so he bore that grudge until at least the 2nd of January, and went on a rant at me.
