Will "Retro art" do?

  No. Lean into "pixel art". Hot take: "photo realistic" is just a style. If it doesn't exist and wasn't taken with a camera, then "photo realistic" is just the name of the style. Same with "pixel art", "water color", and everything else.

    pixel art 2.0 still respects what it is but clearly differentiates itself as something new

      That'd be like calling photography "painting 2.0". One day the majority of pixel art in the world, and indeed even photoreal photos, will be generated. We'll call it pixel art even if the original motivation is gone.

  Low-res cel shading would be a better descriptor. It lends itself to looking like pixel art when zoomed out, but cel shading when zoomed in.
