Genre: Carpe Diem

In the world of pop music, this is a spiritual cousin of Stand Up-- come on, audience, be your best!

You know, day seizing...  and, as music goes, this is generally a pretty good place to start: even at its most poorly written, the Carpe Diem song is at least a positive thought.  That can be undone, of course, by insincerity on the songwriter's or performer's part, and pop stars can sound awfully condescending preaching from On High.
