A genius is a person with a relatively high IQ, which can vary based on society and time period. However, there are also artisitc geniuses who are capable of works beyond the human imagination. These must not be overlooked. Why should Beethoven and Picasso be under Einstein's shadow?

A genius is an exceptionally creative, intelligent mind.
Why do you think it's only subjective?
If it's only subjective then creativity and intelligence are decided by the whims of the masses.

"Genius" is a faculty possessed by one who is intrinsically capable of transforming reality through creative vision. Genius is sometimes distinguished from "ingenuity," the latter being of a more analytic nature, usually found in mathematics or the various sciences.

I agree, it is subjective. It depends mostly on what each culture would consider "intelligence" as well.
