Eighties cultural trend born around wit (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
new age
'eighties cultural trend' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'born around wit' is the wordplay.
'born' becomes 'nee' ('nee' is 'born' in French).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'wit' becomes 'wag' (synonyms).
'nee' enclosing 'wag' is 'NEW AGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for new age that I've seen before include "Modern holistic philosophy" , "Of a movement based on alternatives to traditional ideas of Western culture" , "Modern belief system" , "Modern movement" , "cultural movement" .)
