d5 is best for blitz and bullet
not quite as great in rapid and classical
but amazing in blitz
French?
Play e5 but prepare something aggressive against the major lines

Yes it's the Pirc but it can evolve into the KID
The modern, can sometimes transpose to KID.
The Pirc, extremely rarely, in a couple of rather minor lines.
Against e4? Literally anything works (I agree e5 is boring unless there's a gambit; too repetitive. Personally, I got bored of Sicilian so I started trying Alekhine.
d4? KID or QID are all passive but super imbalanced. Dutch also works but I don't like opening that king's diagonal.
But in general, the main lines are the strongest lines. If you want to have more fun, it will slightly affect your positioning.
In general, you can blunder with pretty much any opening you like.
The other option is not blundering, but this has nothing to do with the opening.

I want to throw in my two cents with my favorite Kings Pawn Opening defense, the French. I think it gets a bad reputation for being overly closed and passive, and while I do think the former is true, I do not think so the latter. Sharp counterattacks can be reached with many attacks against 2. d4 d5, such as 3. ...c5 4. ...Qb6. I also believe its clear, yet powerful ideas more than make up for the relative 'boredom' of other, more obviously sharp defenses.
Then again, my word is to be taken with a grain of salt, I'm still a bit on the low end of the spectrum (to say the least), but I thought it best to give whatever reasonable advice I have.

That is not the KID.
For it to become a KID, White must play c4 before Nc3.
If White plays Nc3 and leaves the c-pawn on c2, it is a Pirc, not a King's Indian.

It is not Black that decides that though.
After 1.e4 d6 2.d4 g6, White can STILL play 3.Nc3
