We prove that, for a generic set of smooth prescription functions h on a closed ambient manifold, there always exists a nontrivial, smooth, closed hypersurface of prescribed mean curvature h. The solution is either an embedded minimal hypersurface with integer multiplicity, or a non-minimal almost embedded hypersurface of multiplicity one. More precisely, we show that our previous min-max theory, developed for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces, can be extended to construct min-max prescribed mean curvature hypersurfaces for certain classes of prescription function, including a generic set of smooth functions, and all nonzero analytic functions. In particular we do not need to assume that h has a sign.
