Is this next in Amercia's music future?

I have previously asked a similiar question. This question deals strictly with America’s music future. Wife and i were on the interstate coming back from a short vacation. In switching the radio dial around, we discovered a station that was playing remakes of the oldies. Some remakes were better than the originals, some were not worth listening to. Question: Are remakes of the oldies the music of the future for America? If so, your opinion is appreciated.
