"But then you have to find a new word to describe real geniuses like Beethoven and Sibelius."
Pffft! All three fit the term with or without your sarcasm.
"..Brian Wilson's unfortunate psychological difficulties help pop-culture observers categorize him as a genius."
With most pop culture fans/critics/writers even the most base and lowbrow of music can be elevated to stuff of genius in their minds. "Pop-savant" a better term for top pop performers/composers.
