Indie titles, what most constitute as real Indie titles, have real pixels.
Like, from actual pixel artists who specialize in pixel-based media.
Of course there are a fair share of Indie titles filled pseudo-pixel art that is really hard to look at with a trained eye.
You don't have to have pixel-based graphics to be an Indie title, but it does seem that most Indie devs come from the days of pixels, and a big part of becoming a Indie dev is to make games that resonate with you at a personal level with your own specific tastes in mind.
As for my personal opinion, so long as pixels stay the same size and are arranged in a pleasing format, I'm more than happy to see them in any video game, Indie or no.
