Saying "no offense" after being pretty deliberately offensive doesn't clear you of being a jackass.

I never claimed it did. The OP asked us to judge him so I gave my honest judgment. That's not being a jackass. If the OP doesn't want people to say how they honestly feel and only wants compliments then he/she shouldn't ask a bunch of internet strangers to judge him/her. The true jackasses are those who have trouble with honesty.

Delivery matters, so does tone, so do the specific words used - and yes, you're a jackass, which you just confirmed. "I think you should explore some music that isn't so mainstream" says just about the same thing, without being a jerk.

I'm sure you're incapable of seeing the irony of your tone. And who said anything about "mainstream"? There's plenty of good mainstream music.

I'm sorry you have trouble with people expressing how they honestly feel. Good luck trying to force your neutered language on others.
