then you are lucky to know some semi-open-minded people.
there are plenty of people i know who  never cross between noise
and ebm.  one thinks the other is childish, silly dance junk and the
other thinks the one is unlistenable and fascist

i don't see how the music between those two projects is more
different than the difference between the genres we talked about
above.  i can't recall panacea, while i did once own an m2 album,
but to me they are both electronica/idm of some kind.  i may like
one or the other, but not because of subgenre distinctions.  but i
may be one of those people like the friends you describe.

it just means underground or subterranean.  anything beyond that
is whatever context one decides to associate with it.
