Would (a) true genius(es) be so severely critized and effect so much negativity among a great part of his/her/their fans? Just a rhetorical question.

Geniuses are mostly critisiced and hated by the masses, you should know that

Neither.
To me, what set them apart and made them successful was that Mick has a unique voice, and his youthful beauty was so unusual as to seem unique.
Added to that, timing--the post-war economic boom; the British invasion; the novelty of black American blues filtered through a white English perspective.
Plus, Andrew Oldham's marketing strategy.
Plus, Mick's above-average intelligence and determination to succeed.

Mozart was genius. Mick & Keith are decent entertainers.
