So, I've never really heard of this label before. I've always just seen these bands tagged as "ethereal". I guess someone came up with this tag to distinguish from all the non-genre artists that people have tagged as ethereal?

It may be country specific. I know in Germany Ethereal Wave was a legit term used by alternative and underground zines to tag the dreamy and well, ethereal music coming from the goth and darkwave scene. I think it dates back at least to the 80s. But true, it is nice to have to disambiguate the darkwave stuff from indie music that gets the ethereal tag (like Shoegaze)
