It depends who you ask. I think a few people find them "disrespectful", especially on teenagers. They are associated with gangsters, but only if you are wearing really garish ones and a velvet jumpsuit. They are most often seen as something "important" people like movie stars wear. That might be what your cousin meant. I would never wear them inside or while waiting for someone to answer the door, but for the most part, I don't think people in Japan really have a strong opinion either way, and I see lots of Japanese wear sunglasses, especially in the big cities.
