Yes, in opposition to Wham! was the Guy Beckett line lo these many threads ago.

Duran Duran were a funk band.

broadly speaking, no. oppositional means contemporaries/rivals

Why so hung up on hanging one tag on them? They purportedly originally sought to fuse the sounds and sensibilities of Chic with the Sex Pistols. Thusly, they are funk, rock and pop all at once.

Is trying to decide whether an act is rock rock?

It's not rockish, but it might be rockist

They cover Grandmaster Flash... badly. "Wild Boys" is definitely rock.
