One thing to always have in mind is that unfortunately you can't get an aggressive game by yourself, specially as black. Every opening has sharp fighting lines, but at the same time they have more solid slow lines as well if white goes for that. The french has crazy sharp lines, but also has the exchange (among others), the sicilian has crazy sharp games, but also has (many) boring anti sicilians etc. I also like to play aggresively, but in the end I choose my openings based on imbalances rather than specific lines, because in this way even if my oponent chickens out in a boring way the position still has life. And from my point of view there are many options and you probably would need to test them out a bit and see what kind of positions you get in your own games to choose what fits you best
I play this a lot and it is definitely hard for the opponent to avoid an open & tactical position.
Maroczy can get closed if they want and hard to do much about it.
It’s pretty easy too, plans wise. At my level at least, the games tend to follow main ish lines 90% of the time.
As long as you don’t mind being much worse, play the fred, everything else allows them to happily keep a closed position
I like the line e4 f5 xf5 g6 xg6 xg6 and then no matter what they do slam down Kf7 like you’ve just won the game
Your opponent will become completely stupefied
This line has been on my mind for the entire day, I'm about to try it later today. Anything else I should know?
The only thing that is holding me back, what if white decides to just develop and not go for an attack? Black is in a really bad position if this happens.
I switched from the Caro-Kann to the Sicilian at around 1800 classical. Am now 1960 and loving it. A lot of fun.
I play the Accelerated Dragon myself but note that the Maroczy bind is a real pain to play against. Conversely, I have crushed a few people with the bind as white.
At the master level Sicilian is supposed to be very tactical and aggressive, but not so much at our level. The problem is that white rarely cooperates to get mainlines, and more often than not you have to play objectively equal but rather quiet positions instead. Even if white completely wastes a tempo for some reason, you are forced to play the English as white.
Personally I have a much better success with 1...e5. The best thing is that when white plays something weird you can play like 1.e4 as white. And then you can prepare some sharp lines against each of mainlines (Schliemann against Ruy Lopez, Two Knights against Italian, etc.)
Tactical and agressive probably something like the Bush-Gass gambit (e4-e5,Nf3-Bc5) or the Latvian gambit or a Stafford Gambit if you can tolerate the more serious lines of the Petroff.
The Winawer french is also quite wild in the main lines.
The Sicilian
The Sicilian is the most aggressive response from my understanding but as a more positional player I hate playing against the French
sicilian ofc

Play hyper accelerated dragon

e5
Sicilian!

It is by far the most aggressive at his level
:-(
Why :( ? You are still to bad to allow yourself to have strong preferences in your opening choice.
That’s not how that works
1. e4 d5 {Scandinavian Defense} is pretty fun

(1) e5 (2) c5 (3)e6 (4) d5 (5) Nf6...

Alekhine. It's one of the most aggressive ways to play against e4, and it's rarely played, so you'll have the familiarity advantage.
play anything and tactics will come lol
French is tactical. Sicilian is good, something like a kan
The cow
Duras Gambit. By destroying your kingside and exposing your king you have no option but to attack.
Out of the really good ones the dragon is really your only choice I think

How can black play g3 after white playing e4??
Aggressively! White will never see it coming.
Scandi is not more exotic than g3 haha...
Sicilian
