They are, though. They're Alternative Rock but that doesn't diminish their place in the genre. You're not being cool or true by rejecting other artists and bands from your standards, you don't get to decide who is a part of a genre and who isn't. Imagine Dragons is a rockband, just with a slightly different musical approach. that doesn't mean they're less rock.
All you have is whether or not you like their music or not. nothing more and nothing less.
as for me, i like rock music it just takes more than hearing something for me to buy it or download it. i consider myself more a fan for tamer stuff in the genre but sometimes i can like the more aggressive music. i love Linkin Park, Evanescence, The Script, The Black Keys and Nickelback. I'll generally listen to anything, though.
any recommendations? i want to listen to more things.

I'm way more into rock than into pop. I love indie rock, shoegaze, post-punk. But I'm not here for post-grunge or faux-alternative-Imagine Dragons mess.
