I do find it pretty easy to listen to most of that music though, and if that's the gate to some deeper cuts and more interesting stuff, then I'm fine with it. I will say that some of the technical musicianship and unique sounds that are in metal are what are getting me to try it.
As a starting point I just bought Periphery's Juggernaut Alpha Album. I'm kind of addicted to the track MK Ultra.

Do you wanna listen to more metalcore? I've got way many bands who are not the kind of bull**** melodic metalcore your friend probably listens to (metalcore is a varied genre with more sounds than 95% of people are aware of).
I could also give you plenty of thrash, death, black, power, doom, stoner, sludge, etc metal. Just tell me if you want to continue on the path your friend has set you or if you want to explore... everything.

Haven't given FFDP that much of a listen past the radio singles, but I understand their first two albums are indeed melodic metalcore, but then their vocalist had to have surgery and lost the ability to scream, and so they had to switch to what you hear on the radio.

Check out Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Suicide Silence, and Zao.

Ignore all of this but Zao, cause Zao are amazing. Suicide Silence are ass, Bring Me the Horizon are not for people with taste (though I do like some of their ****), and I don't know about Asking Alexandria but I haven't heard anything about them that made me think they were worth listening to. But Zao are gods.
