Ugliness

Ugliness: Definition: When something either lacks the quality of appeal, or when something seems to lack the quality of appeal because it is unfamiliar, we say it is ugly. Ugliness is not opposed to beauty. Sometimes, it is caused by an abundance of beauty, or by a kind of beauty with which the observer is unfamiliar. Because of this, the ugliness can in itself be attractive. As kinds of beauty go, appeal is merely subjective, and thus fairly unimportant.
