'applicable to any group' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'playing carnegie hall at last' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at last' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'hall' is 'l'.
'carnegie' with letters rearranged gives 'generica'.
'generica'+'l'='GENERICAL'

'that's' is the link.
