==Legacy and cultural impact== "Sunglasses at Night" has endured as a [[1980s in music|1980s]] pop classic and a staple of decade-themed compilations and nostalgia playlists. Its influence can be traced in several areas: * The song is frequently cited in discussions of [[synth-pop]] and new wave music from the era. * It has been featured in numerous [[film]]s, [[television]] shows, and [[advertising]] campaigns seeking to evoke the style and sound of the 1980s. * The phrase "sunglasses at night" entered popular culture as shorthand for a particular kind of performative coolness. * Canadian rock band [[Tegan and Sara]] and other artists have cited the song's melodic construction as an influence. In 2016, the song was referenced and partially interpolated in a viral internet meme cycle, introducing it to a new generation of listeners.
