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

'modern culture' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'endless requirement to accommodate witty person' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'requirement' becomes 'need' (synonyms).
'to accommodate' is an insertion indicator.
'witty person' becomes 'wag' (wag is a kind of person. I am not sure about the 'witty' bit.).
'need' with its final letter taken away is 'nee'.
'nee' placed around 'wag' is 'NEW-AGE'.

'has' is the link.
