Society tries wrong random number generators (11)

I believe the answer is:

songwriters

'number generators' is the definition.
(a musical number is a song )

'society tries wrong random' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'random' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tries'+'wrong'='trieswrong'
'trieswrong' anagrammed gives 'ongwriters'.
's'+'ongwriters'='SONGWRITERS'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
