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

'decade' is the definition.
(I know that thirties is a type of decade)

(Other definitions for thirties that I've seen before include "Nineteen thirty to nineteen thirty nine" , "US Depression era, the ''hungry ... ''" , "The decade described as hungry." .)
