It was really just Oasis and then everyone else. Blur’s impact (stateside) was very minor compared to Oasis. Also radiohead quickly made a very sharp turn into more avant-garde stuff. Outside of Creep they really didn’t have many radio friendly songs and iirc Creep came out a good 2-3 years before the supposed British Invasion.
Spice Girls had way more in common w NSync or Brittney Spears than they did post grunge British rock, they just happened to be from England

really garbage, third-rate music, for the most part.
the british bands of the 60s, 70s, and 80s were GOAT, light years ahead of American bands. but the 90s wave of 'britpop' was just nakedly derivative, sub-mediocre music hyped to death by nostalgia-obsessed brit rock press.
the entire era did not produce a single undeniably great track.

" this wave had crossover with US genres like "college rock" and "club music."
that's exactly it. i consider shoegaze and late 80s/early 90s post-postpunk/proto-britpop a species of 'indie' rock.
while i love indie rock, shoegaze, etc, the standards of those genres are undeniably different, more relaxed, than those of mainstream pop/rock. it's 'mood' music, ultimately experimental and anti-formal.
i hold any band that achieves mass-audience/Top 40 status to a stricter standard. a pop band must uphold the grand tradition of the Pop/Rock form by producing disciplined, preferably three-minute singles that have that 'x-factor', of melodic singularity, of 'catchiness', of arresting production/performance, and also artistic merit -- from 'Satisfaction' to 'Blue Monday', all the great singles have this x-factor. you must deliver the goods.
none of those 1990s Britpop bands produced any truly great pop singles that will stand the test of time. the music was objectively inferior even to what the late-entry British Invasion bands of the 1980s produced (standards like 'Every Breath You Take' by The Police, or even 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', etc)

This was known as the 'cool Britannia' era. In addition to music, British movies like Trainspotting, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Lock, Stock and Barrels were popular in the US.
Never cared for any of this although ironically at the time I was listening to a lot of UK IDM music.
