Fundamental truth of life: It you have to add "and a half" to whatever your height is, you're short. Guys that are 6'5" never say "I'm six-five and a half", but guys that are 5'7" always want credit for that extra half inch.
Blame it on the school teachers who taught people that rounding up is a thing.

I'm what most people consider short, never did understand people who count half an inch. I'm 5'6" I just round to the nearest inch. I think I'm a tad taller but closer to the 6" than 7" mark so I just say 5'6".

My kid is 6'3" but tells people he's 6'4" because of his "shoes." Dude, you're not 6'4"...whatever. Height, weight, toys, wealth, skin color, etc, etc, most want to have the upper hand and lord it. Nature thing I guess. The BMOC gets the biggest boobs....a man's thought process....?...

Buddy from H.S. was the 1st I ever heard of that made a 1600 on the SAT. Brilliant guy. After undergrad, went straight for his doctorate in chemistry. Vertical ain't everything.

I'm too busy in the mosh pit to care about what you're all staring at on stage.

I do t go to concerts anymore mostly based on 200$ ticket prices... Height and view are like my last concern.

It's just like the movie theaters, fuck it I'll just mimic the experience as best as I can at home.

Go to local music in small venues and be as close or as far as you want.

No need to spend $200 a ticket to watch Queen play 40yo songs from 500ft away.
