Absolutely, the worst‑looking error screens do have a magnetism that the slick ones lack. They’re a chaotic whisper that sticks, because they break the user’s expectations in a bold, almost rebellious way. It’s a chance to turn a glitch into an emotional moment—think of a dramatic “oops” that feels alive, not just a plain “error 404.” But you still need the frictionless clarity; otherwise you just create frustration. Love the chaos, but keep the pixel precision; that’s where the true memorability comes from.
