“ShootingStarRecorder” usually refers to a fun internet trend where people play the song “Shooting Stars” on a recorder instrument.
The music comes from a popular electronic song called “Shooting Stars” by a band named Bag Raiders. A few years ago, the song became a massive joke and meme across the internet. People would play the song’s catchy tune over funny videos of people falling or spinning through space. The Recorder Covers
Because the song was so popular, musicians and creators started making comedy covers of it. One of the most famous versions is a video called Shooting stars (recorder cover) on YouTube.
It features someone playing the main synth tune using a simple plastic recorder.
People love these covers because the high, squeaky sound of the recorder sounds very silly compared to the smooth, original space-themed music. Other Meanings
