Character
Ever since they were invented, neon lights (or their more modern equivalents) have been associated with big cities. As such, an abundance of them is often used to characterise a place or help set a mood. Bright, colourful lights and signs may serve to establish the city as one of the following (often with a good deal of overlap): Crowded, chaotic, and bewildering: Neon cities are generally full of people and noise, and a visiting Country Mouse may find them confusing, overwhelming, and possibly even dangerous. A street full of signs in every language under the sun may indicate that the city is a crossroads of the world, or a melting pot of cultures. Hyper-capitalist: A riot of competing signs can be used to establish that commercialism and consumerism are dominant forces in society. No matter where you look, you can't escape ads trying to sell you something, and the skyline is crowded with giant MegaCorp logos. Despite the plentiful colour, this kind of neon city is often meant to feel cold and isolating, being designed for rich corporations rather than people. Hedonistic, glitzy, and/or sleazy: Neon signs are particularly associated with bars, casinos, motels, and other entertainment or tourist venues.

Riding on a roofless bus, cruising through the neon streets One episode of Pokémon: The Series ("The Song of Jigglypuff") introduces the Vegas-like Neon Town, where the lights are always on and nobody seems to sleep. The Officer Jenny there has a notably short temper from being overworked. Yu Gi Oh ARCV: As the series takes place throughout four different dimensions, each of them has a different aesthetic to tell them apart, and create the proper atmosphere. The Synchro Dimension's "City" is a Crapsaccharine World, where 99% of the total wealth is controlled by only 1% of the population. The City has extremely high skyscrapers lit up so brightly that the night turns into day. It is even lampshaded. Yugo: Beautiful, isn't it? How much wealth is in this skyline? Ultraviolet Break of Day by Marcus Wendt showcases some of the real world neon cities that inspired many of the ones from cyberpunk. Rock-A-Doodle has the villain send his Comic Relief nephew Hunch to thwart the heroes from contacting Chanticleer. Hunch is truculent, mentioning that the bright lights of the city will make him blind. The villain casually issues Hunch a pair of sunglasses. Truly, the big city…
