Genius is embodying exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of unprecedented insight.

there is a thin line between genius and madness....

look at brian wilson of the beach boys for example...yes you may not be a fan but there is no doubt he experienced an amazing growth as a songwriter between 1965 and 1967 up until his mental breakdown...his pet sounds and smile albums from that era are prime examples of someone who's work could be discribed as genius with the modular style of songwriting he was creating with the good vibrations track and the whole smile album...

i agree its all subjective but then most things are....just asking... :-)
