Well, when I started playing guitar about 15 years ago up until I was 14 or 15, I was a tab reading dork who would play rock, metal and occasionally 12 bar blues. There was a turning point decided to open up my playing and I unlearn the limited penatonic philosophies of the genres I was playing to teach myself a new style that I could call my own. Individuality is important, but I suppose that I give more leeway when a sound is derived from a singular artist like the ones I mentioned.
As for the future, I'm not certain about anything tbh. I think that getting comfortable isn't healthy, so you will likely see change from album to album since I don't want to be in a rut. I'll likely continue to play largely atonal music since that's what gets me off the most, but again, it's hard to say. I just play how my heart beats.
