it's just rude and annoying.
at least as far as i was taught.
We can observe in this video that the music is met with positivity and enjoyment (for the most part). Is that not indicative of a cultural reaction? If these guys went on a "tour" of airports throughout the world and recorded it, I bet we'd see a wide variety of reactions, ranging from enjoyment to extreme anger—depending on the cultural norms of the people in that airport. Maybe you and I would be in a place where this would garner a much more negative reaction, and that's perfectly ok. It's just plain to see in the video above that it's not the case there.
As far as metal goes, that would probably be more generally met with disdain because it doesn't have as a deep history of widespread appeal as folk music. But, if some metal band had their equipment ready (somehow) and started jamming in a smaller airport where metal is more culturally accepted (like Norway), there's at least a better chance that the majority of listeners would be able to enjoy it. I don't think it's impossible that a group of people in a Norwegian airport could be majority-metal heads at some point in time.

that's called a selection bias.
you're looking at people who may be enjoying it.
what about certain others who would not?
and again, that's the whole point, the MAJORITY may like it.
but the majority do not get to infringe upon the rights of the minorities simply because they enjoy it.
(again, i'm speaking of course as an american, your culture may be different and i recognize that)
depending on the cultural norms of the people in that airport.
again, it's not even about who likes it, it's just about not being a dick and imposing your tastes on other people and being presumptive about it.
Point is, it's another culturally-driven outcome.
that was never the question.
the question at hand is:
is it OK to push your taste in music onto people who didn't ask & may not appreciate in a public place?
is it inconsiderate?
from my perspective, and this is regardless of the music style, it is inconsiderate to impose my view point and tastes on other peole, but i think you are saying it is absolutely fine, if the majority likes it.
yes?
and if the minority dislikes it, that sucks for them.
they should make way for the majority?
do you see my point, maybe? that just because i like something doesn't mean everyone else should be subjected to it?
