HTML

<button class="generic">GENERIC</button>

JavaScript

// Declare the variable
  var generic_counter = 0;
  // Log the variable
  console.log(generic_counter);
  // When button is clicked, add 1 to the variable
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $(".generic").click(function(add_generic) {
      if (generic_counter >= 5) {
       	alert("You've been looking up a lot about GENERIC, maybe contact this group?")
        $(".generic").off("click");
      } else {
        generic_counter += 1;
        console.log(generic_counter);
      }
    });
  });


// So we have the thing counting up to 6 clicks, and then saying "blah"
// However, this keeps happening afterwards, so what we need is..
// The function needs to STOP when it reaches over 5
