recently i started liking some music from the 90s to the present day and musicains and bands from the 60s and 70s seem to have aged and ones the 90s and 2000s are still going strong and not real old curious to know why bands from the 90s to now are not as old as the ones from the 60s to the 80s ?

As this isn't a problem but just something you wonder about, I won't have to offer any advice, just try to help you see how if you look at this by counting years, you can have the answer.

Most all bands, whether started in the 50s, 60's 70s, 80's 90's or after 2000, have members who were teenagers at the time they started or at least in their twenties.
Lets take the Beatles for just one example.
John met Paul in 1957 so at the time John was 17 and Paul was 15. John asked Paul to join his band the Quarry men. A year later, Paul had managed to convince John to let George join even though he was 14. I may have the age wrong but he was very young. They finally met Ringo when Ringo was 22. The band the Beatles was together and creating songs long before they bacame known as a hit by the public. It is pretty much the same for todays bands. It is not often that 30 40 or older people start up a band. By then they are settled into other careers and playing music and jamming on the side with friends is something they only do for fun, not for a way to earn a living.

So if band members were teenagers when they started, no matter the year, they age accordingly. So a Band form the 90s if lets say all were 20 at the time they started and we'll say the yeaer 200o, then today they'd be 18 yaars older, and so are 38.
The Beatles were in their 20s sometime in the 60's or late 60s. Lets use the age 20 again. The start we'll say is 1968. So 2018 is 50 years later and you add 50 to their age. That would be 20 plus 50 and they'd be in their 70s or close to it today. As you know, not all of the Beatles are even alive anymore at this point, only McCarthy. So comparing band members of a 90s band to those of 60s and comparing ages today, ofcourse the older bands have older members.

If you mean that the age of 90s band members are younger and not as old as the ages of those who started in the 60s. Well, if most started in their teens and twenties, that would mean that the newer bands have members who start out as elememtary school aged to teens as the oldest. That does not make sense. i do not know of any bands with 5th or 6th graders who started popular bands in the 90s and up to today. If you meant something else, please reword it as these are the only two ways I could interpret what you were asking
