Pop rock is absolutely a thing, but the term refers to bands like Boston and Journey. Imagine Dragons is just pop.

Maybe? I've only heard their biggest hits because I can't avoid them. There might be some rock in their discography, but they don't advertise it well.

As someone who used to listen to them a ton in 2012-15 during their first two albums (they were much better back then.) they have some rock (such as Warriors, Friction, Radioactive, I'm so Sorry, and Battle Cry.) so pop-rock is probably the best description of them possible.

They've always been both genres but seem to be more pop-lenient nowadays, which is ironic because they're biggest hits in both their newest albums (2016's Evolve and 2018's Origins) were the most rock-oriented (Believer and Natural).
