L'ethereal wave s'est développée à partir du gothic rock, et tire ses origines principalement de la musique de Siouxsie and the Banshees (les Cocteau Twins s'en sont fortement inspirés, ce qui se ressent dans leur premier album Garlands, sorti en 1982). Le genre s'est développé surtout autour des années 1983-1984, avec l'émergence de trois formations majeures: Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil et Dead Can Dance... Les labels principaux promouvant le genre sont 4AD et Projekt Records."</ref>|[[garage rock]]<ref name="xlr8r" />|pop experimental<ref name="Shoegaze">{{citecitar web|url=http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2012/02/the-80-best-albums-of-the-1980s.html?a=1 |titletítulo=The 80 Best Albums of the 1980s : Music : Lists : Page 1 : Paste |website=Pastemagazine.com |datedata= |accessdateacessodata=2016-08-09}}</ref>|[[space rock]]<ref name="space rock">{{citewebcitar web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/style/space-rock-ma0000012255|titletítulo=Space Rock : Allmusic}}</ref>}}
