I saw someone asking for a guide on the works of Starkid and then spend way to much time writing this, so I thought, I'd post it instead of just commenting.
Welcome (back) to the Fandom (The Church of the Starry Children) - It's not a cult, it's an exciting new religion that they started!
Starkid's Back Catalog (2009-2026) in chronological order:
