Because they played music videos. They dedicated entire days to play every single Weird Al video, and eMTV with all of Eminem's videos with him as a host. Listening to a new song by a band you like because you had no internet in 1995 or money to buy the entire CD.
Oasis had a few good songs. I liked Bush better.
Radiohead really weren't even that popular outside of "Creep" until much later on. They had some weird videos but only dweebs were into them.
I only started listening to Oasis 2 years ago, and I can tell you as objectively as possible they are only known for 'wonderwall' which has almost 2 billion streams on spotify. Common People has less, way way less than that. Only Oasis, The Verve, and Radiohead have made any impact in the U.S.
Granted I personally believe Oasis is the better of the 3, The verve is only known for Bittersweet Symphony, but Radiohead appears to be the more popular band of the 3 despite their commercial failure compared to Oasis.

Oasis may only be known for Wonderwall now, but they had a few other songs back in the 90s that were pretty big (Champagne Supernova seemed to get played to death in particular). My local rock station spun a lot of their songs and MTV seemed to really hype them up for a moment. Everybody knew about the fighting Oasis brothers and their quest to be the next Beatles. At least among people my age, they were briefly really big, though I'd wager most of the people who know anything about them are all in their 30's/40's now.
The Verve were definitely a one hit wonder and were sort of trying to be the "next Oasis" after Oasis' third album flopped but they didn't really catch on at all. Bitter Sweet Symphony was famous for being in commercials at the time too.
Radiohead were definitely not that big in the 90s except for at the very end of the decade serious music nerds and college students loved them because of the "OK Computer" album. Most other people had maybe heard of them but only really knew "Creep" and maybe if you listened to a local alternative station "High and Dry" or "Karma Police" but those songs weren't nearly as mainstream.
Pulp were an absolute non-factor in America. 0 coverage at all for their music.
Oh you want MTV 90's "kino"?
Let me rub your fricking mutt faces in that kino MTV shat all over the floor, playing it over and over and over and over, util even I, someone who loves this band, started getting sick of it
you miss the point, probably your public education showing through since your reading comprehension couldn't fill in the unwritten part.
It wasn't the video in itself that was the problem, but MTV playing it incessantly
Now go back to SCHLOP SCHLOP SCHLOP SCHLOP SCHLOP SCHLOP

Even the terrible music of the era was pleasant compared to what would be considered popular today. That and hot chicks were still a thing.
Oasis is the best British band of the 90s and only Radiohead loving numales disagree

Interesting. Anyway Bill Shatner covered it for some reason.
