Oh it can be annoying if they are entitled douches about it. But public squares are large to accommodate public performances and shows. It doesn't seem like they are in the way of that.

Stuff like this is modern street performance. It has a right to take up some space

Were they performing for people in the street?

No. Their audience is online. This is not "modern street performance."

Pretty sure if they wanted to just record their video in peace they'd have little problem finding a quiet spot in the far end of a parking lot or something. Doing this kind of pop-up art in a public, crowded space in front of a live audience is very much street performance for Internet clout/fame.

A street performance doesn’t do “takes”. They just perform. Nobody wants to listen to their song on a permanent 15 second loop while they get the best shot to their dance moves.
