To answer that question OP, I need to first know what kind of mainstream/radio rock and heavy metal you were exposed to as a child that you remember enjoying the most. I also need to know how you see yourself in the social hierarchy (both now and as a child/adolescent), whether you identify as an introvert or extrovert, how seriously you take music critics, a list of all current and past medications you've been on, and how you perceive your attention span to be. Once you've provided that information, we can proceed proceed from there.

Listen to this. I listened to it when I was 9 and now I'm a full on metalhead

I recommend Dragonforce. Try Fury of the Storm, through the fire and flames. If they are too fast for you then start listening to Bling Guardian. If you don't like the fantasy theme at all then I can't help you. Maybe listen to some Maiden idk. Oh and btw I never liked those "metal classics" they are just boring in my opinion but never ever criticize them because everyone will go nuts and tell you to fuck off

Do not get into metal through charts or what people recommend you.
Take a look at the subgenres find the one you like best then explore it yourself through metalarchives, rym or whatever.
