i want to know who /mu/ believes are true geniuses musically who arent typically thought to be geniuses and why. i think rivers cuomo WAS a genius during the blue/pinkerton years, but then was overcome with other opinions and began to make commercial shit, but thank god he started to come back to his senses in 2014.
kanye is debatable in my opinion, who do you guys think of?

Rivers Cuomo was never a genius, just good at emotional bullshit.
Kanye isn't a genius either.
Avey Tare, now there's a secret genius.
Kanye is an actual idiot who reckons himself a genius, not a misunderstood genius.

The hardest way to make an easy living nails the vile details of the music bis and being bigger than you intended yet not big enough for anyone to give a shit
cyberspace and reds, a throw-away album, is filled with nothing but bangers.
People percieve him as some rat faced cunt who snorted too much coke but he's way, way more. He's a genius
Weezer is probably one of my favorite bands of all time, but Rivers is definitely not a genius of any sort.
