Pixel Art
Digital art built by placing individual pixels by hand under tight limits on resolution and palette. It grew from 1980s arcade machines, home computers and 8-bit consoles, where every pixel and color had to be chosen carefully.

Why it happens
A small fixed grid and a handful of palette colors force the artist to define shapes by deliberate pixel placement, with no anti-aliasing or smooth blending.
