Although airplane seats recline it is indeed rude to recline an airplane seat because when you do recline the airplane seat the passenger behind you gets less room for their knees and legs and makes it uncomfortable for them.

If nobody is behind you in the seat behind your seat then you can recline your seat and it will be okay but if somebody is sitting in the seat behind you do not recline your seat out of courtesy and respect for the person behind you.

I had someone recline their seat in front of me and it made it very uncomfortable that I had to ask the person to put their seat up because I didn't have enough room.

If someone reclines their seat on the airplane in front of you then it will not be very comfortable or roomy for you and if they do just politely ask them to put their seat back up.
