Leftovers + The Force Awakens

Given the Lost connection, it's interesting how these 2 filmmakers utilize teen angst. In The Leftovers, Evie's dysfunctional family resides within a community that believes, following the rapture, they were blessed with zero departures. So, she joins a white-clad cult who smoke and remind people we're too guilty for salvation. In The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren resides within a family that helped end the subjugation of the Empire. He joins the black-clad First Order, changes his name from Ben, and studies the dark-side. The climax of each story notwithstanding, did these 2 characters just want to piss of their parents?
