Why did Kylo Ren turn evil? Because he thought it was the fastest way to get laid?

This could be a useful analysis, if the screenwriter felt this way and made an effort to express this viewpoint on society’s decline.
However, it is far more likely that the character is the way he is because of bad writing and someone’s desire for a certain character arc, whether or not such an arc made any sense.

"Why did Kylo Ren turn evil?"
It started when he put a Hillary bumper sticker on his space ship.

Two pieces of unsolicited advice:
1. Don’t read anything that has Star Wars attached it!
2. Go see it already!
To: Perdogg
Why did Kylo Ren turn evil?
Because good is
dumb.

Why did Kylo Ren turn evil?
Because we need a setup for Star Wars Episodes 8 and 9?

Well that whole bit about the famous characters pretty much says it all, no?

He turned evil because all it takes to turn evil in the Star Wars universe is to have any emotion whatsoever.
Supposedly to be on the light side you have to be a detached emotionless robot.
Stub your toe, get angry just once and it is red lightsabers and black masks for the rest of your life....

With parents as busy as Leia & Hans its easy to see why the son got interested in the dark side. It is powerful while the parents were weak.

How many times must a Death Star blow up, before the Sith alter their plan?
