They look for a 60s group (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seekers

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

'they' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'look for a 60s group' is the wordplay.
'look for' becomes 'seek' (synonyms).
'a 60s group' becomes 'ers' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'seek'+'ers'='SEEKERS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seekers that I've seen before include "Searchers" , "Religious group" .)
