Judson Chapman (born: )https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20101022/news/710239873/http://mindcrack.altervista.org/wiki/Generikb, better known online as Generikb, is an American Let's Play YouTube commentator living in Bulgaria with his wife Ettie Chapman. He's a self-proclaimed "gaming hermit" , the Creator of the Hermitcraft Server and a former member of the Mindcrack Server. Currently he's a full time streamer on Twitch.
==Channel History==
He began uploading Minecraft content to YouTube on August 1, 2011 and slowly grew his channel by producing consistent content. It started out as a hobby for him, and it was only after six months of content creation that he began monetizing his channel. For a long time though, he was focused more on the enjoyment that he derived from content creation than from the hope of turning it into a living. His goals gradually changed as his channel continued to grow.
On April 23, 2012, Generikb made his first Let's Play series of Hermitcraft and was invited to join the Mindcrack Server by Guudeboulderfist in August 2012, after they had met at PlayOnCon 2012. His Hermitcraft Let's Play series ended on April 13, 2013 and gave up his administrative rights for the server he created to Xisumavoid while he was still making minecraft videos. 
In early 2014, he decided to branch out into other video games and has remained a variety streamer since then. That was also around the time that he transitioned to becoming a fulltime content creator.
On April 3, 2015, it was announced Generikb would also be parting ways with Mindcrack, because he "did not wish to sign certain legal agreements". ; he himself noted that his participation in future UHCs was unlikely.
By the time he decided to start streaming on Twitch in May 2018, he had reached 1 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and it has since become his main medium. This decision was largely due to his dissatisfaction with the way in which YouTube had changed its operations, making it harder for him to monetize his content on their platform. 
He tries to keep his content family friendly and is a full-time streamer on Twitch playing minecraft and other games. Generikb streams: Mon » Wed » Fri » Sat @ 8pm Eastern US time. Or 7am Phuket local time (UTC+7)
Modpacks he has created and co-created were: Attack of the B-Team!, Revenge of the C-Team!, and recently Uncle Genny's 100% Organic & Free-Range Modpack.
