U2 has messed around with different genres over time.

I've always considered them to be alternative rock.

No. But it has a little punk element. The Refugee being the closest to true punk

Every band originating in that era started off wanting to be the Sex Pistols.

Fun to see bands evolve. The Police come to mind. Synchronicity is way different
