Beloved children’s musician Raffi Cavoukian has taken a firm stance against the New Pornographers’ band name (as Exclaim*!* notes). He tweeted today, “strongly object to that name. as bad as ‘food pn’ etc.,” adding that it’s “not a word to normalize in public conversation. consider youngsters, etc.” (He set the asterisk precedent back in 2015 when he wrote, “i don’t RT anything with ‘pn’ in source name.”) After A.C. Newman saw Raffi’s tweet, he said, “TFW someone whose music you loved as a child says mean things about your life’s work.” Newman then clarified that he’s “not very familiar” with Raffi’s music and was attempting to “make him feel bad” with his tweets. He continued, however, with tweets joking that his 5-year-old son asked if Raffi is “the man that hates Daddy.” Find all of their tweets below. Pitchfork has reached out to Raffi and the New Pornographers’ respective representatives for comment. Raffi has since apologized to the band, saying, “In a fleeting moment I reacted to a word... Meant no disrespect to the band, its music, or its fans.”
