Since "genius" gets thrown to any artist nowadays. How do you define a true "genius" in music?

He makes very good music

I don’t know if Miles is genius. Prince is terrible and Miles praised the shit out of prince. There are lots of musical geniuses, Kanye is not one of them in the slightest bit. Zappa is so fucking pretentious and really didn’t make anything worth shit. Zappa is the biggest brainlet in music. Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart were definitely geniuses. There are lots of musical geniuses user. I hate to shit on Hip hop, but most rappers are so fucking tone dead and view it as a way to make money rather than making quality music. Rappers that have insane musical talent: Andre 3000, Danny Brown and there are probably more but I cannot think of any off the top of the head.

A genius is someone who can conjure inspiration at any time. They can use this inspiration how they want at length.

You don’t even know music theory.

For me, it's Ian Curtis.

Lmao

How about we soak each others' heads under a hose

This guy gets it

I don't know or care but I think if other respected musicians from other genres and not only the one the person worked/is working in are calling the person a genius then that's a start.

anything that sounds even remotely like this is how genius will be qualified soon enough haha
