book·tard \book-tahrd\ 1 An
individual who works at a buy/sell/trade book, music or other media pawn type business, who has a major
superiority complex in which they feel their beliefs and standards for incoming and outgoing trends are ALL that is law. These prototypical "hipsters", "trend starters", and "scene-setters" (
almost always of the faux variety), often spend their free time in a herd of booktards, at their place of business, or accompanied by the bookmanites at a local art viewing or similar gala only to scoff if only for the sole reason to be derisive. booktards are also often referred to as bookmanites.
