Yes we did. Metallica was a "speed metal" band before they got widely heard. Iron Maiden was metal. G&R was hair metal. Scorpions were glam rock.
I am old, because I consider Ozzie and early VH metal too, I guess.
Metal changed after Grunge took over the mainstream rock moniker. Most styles do, over time.
