What abrasive or aggressive genres outside of metal do you like? Punk genres, noise genres, heavy electronic genres etc?
People primarily into blues, jazz, and country seem to find doom / stoner / psychedelic metal easiest to get into.
People into drum & bass or breakcore seem to find hardcore, thrash, and crust easier to get into.
People into classical or jazz seem to be more attracted to prog metal or power metal.
etc etc.
I would imagine death metal, black metal, and grindcore are typically the hardest metal genres for unfamiliar listeners to approach. Even after being raised on classic rock and metal and exploring metal for a decade I still find it very difficult to enjoy extreme metal beyond the threshold of crust / thrash, yet I love many non-metal abrasive experimental noise groups. I've always considered death / black metal to be in a league of their own, maybe the "purest forms of metal" in the sense that they seem to be most devoid of external influence from non-metal genres, making them the hardest to approach.
There's pretty much a metal sub-genre counterpart for every non-metal style of music out there. Take a look at your current musical interests and start asking for recommendations in the metal sub-genre that seems to draw the most inspiration from that area of music.
