There are some cases where a term currently in use was used for another purpose way earlier. 'Deathcore' and 'orthodox black metal' (1)
What he probably meant was that originally bands like Slayer were referred to as 'power metal', which of course is ridiculous nowadays.

Not the original commenter, just so you know. You're using metal to empower yourself, and that's all fine and dandy, but have you ever (1)
Oh, so being in a metal concert means you're there to hurt other people?
Are there really? Because I smell an old and tired strawman.
