Hopefully someone will show us a song that actually sounds like rock music, complete with guitars and no techno drums; last time I checked, rock music does not have techno instruments.
Music can mix multiple genres. Musical genres are also highly subjective in this way - the fact is that I feel like you're only making this topic to say "I don't like Imagine Dragons because it isn't hardcore enough and I don't like people saying it's rock because I like rock music "... Which is kind of sad that you're unhappy people enjoy a band and want to give a label for genre.
Music is very hard to give a definite genre, just as with games it can be particularly difficult to give a genre too. Tetris and a word search are two completely different kinds of games, but are both considered puzzles. A "techno" band can be so dramatically different it isn't even worth comparing.
Just enjoy a band for the band, not the genre.
