Abstract: We show that for a generic $8$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature, there exists a smooth minimal hypersurface. Without the curvature condition, we show that for a dense set of 8-dimensional Riemannian metrics there exists a minimal hypersurface with at most one singular point. This extends previous work on generic regularity that only dealt with area-minimizing hypersurfaces. These results are a consequence of a more general estimate for a one-parameter min-max minimal hypersurface $Sigmasubset(M,g)$ (valid in any dimension): ${\displaystyle }$mathcal H^{0} (mathcal{S}_{nm}(Sigma)) +{ m Index}(Sigma) leq 1${\displaystyle }$ where $mathcal{S}_{nm}(Sigma)$ denotes the set of singular points of $Sigma$ with a unique tangent cone non-area minimizing on either side.
