Are generational labels completely made up by the media and not based on any social science?

consider that Douglas COupland named HIS generation "Gen X" in his novel Generation X.
It's about him and his peers.
He was born in 1961.
--flash forward --
media now claims Gen X starts in 1965
even though Coupland said 1960
Zoomers, too: Gen Z starts in 1995, or 1996, or 1997, they say.
But Zoomers born before 2003 are very different than the rest of the younger Zoomers ---- and identical to Millennials (I work with them all, trust me)
