I understand that there are the different generations of types of Goth Rock, but are there any categories for the different sounds of it?
You have things like Fields of the Nephilim and Sisters of Mercy, then you have things like Joy Division, then you have Alien Sex Fiend. neutral And you have Bauhaus, then Cure/Banshees type stuff.

Well, the only thing I can say is that it's a pretty artistic music genre, so no two bands sound alike.
The only common trait I've heard is a heavy emphasis on bass guitar.
But otherwise, each band is simply in a league of its own.

I had a bit of info on this in my Goth Rock thread a while back.
I'll see if I can find it...

Well, some have elements of deathrock, which IS like sub-sub-genre, and then there is also '80's new wave' which counted for stuff like Joy Division I suppose, and then they were and are considered 'alternative' in general.

As far as I've seen, there's way too much variety in 'gothic music' to refer to it simply as the commonly used trinity(If you will.) of gothic rock, deathrock, and darkwave.
As far as I've seen the most common trait between different types of gothic music is the heavy emphasis on bass.
Aside from the usual trinity, new wave acts such as Siouxie and the Banshees and The Cure are usually referred to as gothic.
Post-punk acts such as Joy Division(Not entirely sure, as I'm no real fan of them...) and earlier Sisters of Mercy tend to be labeled gothic.
Trip hop acts such as Switchblade Symphony and Ego Likeness tend to be referred as gothic as well.
Cyber goths, from what I've observed, tend to be a lot more into industrial, industrial rock/metal, and EBM than the usual gothic trinity outside of darkwave.

I'm a cyber goth, and I still love regular old Goth Rock//Darkwave/Death Rock. Even some Psychobilly. I just also love Industrial, EBM, and Trance.
And some Banshees and Cure is Goth. Though I'm bad at saying which songs, because I'm also into New Wave.
I also love Sisters of Mercy and Switchblade Symphony (I thought they were darkwave), which you listed before.

I was saying it in a general sense, from what I've observed of most of the other cybergoths I've met.
I myself listen to a lot of goth rock and darkwave and am a cybergoth.
I was never really a fan of deathrock aside from a few bands.
All those bands I've listed(with the exception of Joy Division) are all favorites of mine.

So I suppose it would be a case of Goth Rock, Death Rock, Darkwave,
But then you have like...
Darkwave-ish Goth Rock, New-Wavey Goth, etc.
They kinda cross into other genres, but not enough to be considered that genre.

I've heard ethereal being referred to as a seperat sub-genre of gothic music. Ethereal artists would include Claire Voyant, The Mirror Reveals, and Mors Syphilitica. The overall sound is very airy, yet dark, with an emphasis on instruments such as piano, acoustic guitar, harps, flutes, and other more classical instruments. The music may also utilize sounds such as rain, creaking floorboards, and other sounds as part of the music.
It's sort of like new age music gone gothic.
