who is deciding when one generation ends and another begins?
Whoever writes the article. I was born in 77 and find it gets left out or overlaps on many definitions. While my older brothers are decidedly in ‘x’ they wouldn’t let me hang out with them, and I had much more in common with the ‘millennials’ and even married one. It’s not a science, very much like defining artistic periods.
I’ve heard my cohort called ‘the lucky generation’ because I caught the very tail end of housing affordability, spent most of my mortgage with very low interest rates and have it just about paid off now as things are swirling the drain. My friends even 5 years younger than me have none of that luck and it’s complete bullshit. Eat the rich.

That’s just Gen X. You grew up with Care Bears and He-Man. Millenials grew up with Pokemon and Harry Potter.
