Yes and no. LulzSec and Lizard Squad belong to a very specific subset of hackers: people who hack big targets simply because they enjoy it. People in this group tend to be relatively unskilled, and less emotionally mature, hence skew younger. And they also are a lot more likely to end up in the news, and in people's imaginations.
The majority of hackers in the modern day do what they do for financial gain. Among that group things are more even. But the skilled hackers, those that develop and use 0days, will skew older because it takes time and experience to reach that level.
