Dude, you're an old man
I have listened to punk music for 26 years now. Do you think I still listen to the Clash, Ramones, or Sex Pistols???? Heck no!!!
When I started listening to punk, punk and metal were so different. I wouldn't be caught dead listening to metal, metalheads hated punk. The only, and I mean ONLY, band punks AND metalheads listened to was Motorhead. That's it.
Today, and I never thought I'd say this, I love metal. There are so many great metal bands.
Nothing wrong with getting into the blues, or using less gain. I love just about all music. My post is about your ears, not your guitar playing (I also play classic rock, Jimmy Page is my hero...), but for my ears, new metal music is amazing!!! Let me know if I can send you some links.
(NOTE: The above was typed with a smile on my face!!!)
But thank you for the compliment. I had a three hour drive home, and all I could think about was getting that guitar in my hand!!!!!
goby, the 42 year old punk

Nowadays, I'm into hard rock and blues. I'm in my 30s and I just really love milking a note. I also find that the older I get the less gain I use.
Congrats on your new accomplishments!!!
