U.P guidelines state that a public show should not be written or rehearsed, thereby creating pure human chaos. Ideally performers should not attempt to play together.

Ultimate Ultra-Punk (U.U.P) is the progression of U.P where the performers are not musicians and are thus able to break musical standards most effectively.

Rust Punk

Rust Punk is an industrial art style and hands-on creative medium pioneered by Robert Detrick in the early 21st century.
It blends the harsh, gritty look of rusted oxidized metal with the sharp precision of stencil work, turning corrosion into a canvas instead of a flaw. The process uses metal sheets, resin, and controlled rusting, to shape silhouettes that pop with high contrast and character.

Inspired by old photocopied punk posters, street-art, and raw DIY energy, Rust Punk rejects clean digital polish and leans into the beauty of imperfection. Every drip of rust, every rough edge, and every bold cut line becomes part of the story.
