UGLY IS....
Challening, tense, violent, awkward, considered, independent of what you think of as being "good design".
There is a huge body of work on Aesthetic theory in relation to the notion of "Ugly"

Make your work - work,
Make it cause unease - both auitory and visually.
Forget everything that you now about beauty - it is marked only by an idea of the ugly - the "Ugly" is something else entirely.
