I've always known the genre by the umbrella term of 'Darkwave', but your new genre does look to be more defined. The early project from which this genre was created was based mainly off how both the somber instrumentation combined with "dark, sorrow lyrics" ushered in a new age of post-Punk; but nowadays, some of the best Darkwave tracks I've come across are solely instrumentals (or, they have minimal speaking, and when it occurs, it is in spoken word or whispers, not really sung).

I'd also suggest checking out the French coldwave movement, as well this: "This style took cues from 1980s bands, like Cocteau Twins. This music is often referred to as Ethereal Darkwave."
