Generation not seen as representative (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agent

'representative' is the definition.
(agent is a kind of representative)

'generation not' is the wordplay.
'generation' becomes 'age' (as in age group).
'not' becomes 'n't' (synonyms).
'age'+'nt'='AGENT'

'seen as' is the link.

(Other definitions for agent that I've seen before include "One acting on behalf of another" , "One representing others" , "Person who does business on behalf of another" , "Vehicle" , "Representative - means" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
