Yeah, I cannot recall ever hearing U2 referred to under a specific subgenre of rock, especially not grunge. Personally, if I hat to choose, I think classifying them as generic rock is more accurate.
Yeah, I was tempted to write myself, as it fits at least a few of their songs. I decided against it because I feel that I haven’t listened to enough of their discography to make a generalized observation on the matter.
Fair. There are a lot of bands that usually have a completely different sound from their popular songs (which can be pretty disappointing when you like listening to albums).

‘pop rock’ seems appropriate.
