I believe the answer is:

era

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of the generation?' is the definition.
'era' can be an answer for 'generation?' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'part of the' bit.

'of the generation?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ERA' is hidden within 'generation'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for era that I've seen before include "Memorable period" , "Long period of history" , "Long historic period" , "Significant time" , "Specific time" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
