If stars we see are billions of years dead, what is really out there now?

They say that when we look up to see stars, we’re actually seeing the light from dead stars. So technically, we can’t see what’s out there in the present? What do you think is out there now? is it just new, modern stars or we don’t get to see anything at all? (since by now, everything has expanded billions of miles apart from each other that light is far from anything to reach)

Technically yes there are new stars out there where the light hasn’t reached us yet, but I just wanna add that every star you can see with the naked eye is within a few hundred to a few thousand light years away, so it’s safe to say that nearly all of them are still alive.
