Thats CRAZY!! (NEOLOGISM) prof.jerskey

We normally hear the word "crazy" defined as someone who is mentally unstable. While this is still the same meaning today in modern society; we began to see the term "crazy" transform into yet another meaning. In the hip-hop culture there are words taken from every day language and used as a way to describe something good. For instance when i hear a rap song on the radio that i tend to like i normally say " yo that's crazy, i like that". To others it may seem very unclear but keep this in mind. Einstein was considered to many people as a brilliant man. a person who is so advanced in his brain skills that he is no longer considered part of the "normal" population. In fact many people link his intelligence to insanity. Here  inteligence was considered crazy in a negative way. However now in terms of good music or the latest fashion the word "crazy" takes on another form , more specifically in one word, cool.
