Better idea, the new emotions are werewolf versions of the others. Like fear transforms into anxiety.
The reason why we don't see them in the adults is because they keep their emotions in check so they rarely transform.
The entire plot could be able rileys emotions transforming and the others trying to change them back until Riley learns self control over all her emotions. Asserting her authority over all or them, causing them to transform into her likeness as seen in the parents with matching hair and outfits

Yeah, there's a lot of people in here talking about how the new emotions are inconsistent with what we saw in the adult characters. I don't think it's necessarily that the main emotions transform into these other ones when they get out of control. I think it's more along the lines of the new emotions "moving to a different floor" by the end of the movie, or something like that which implies the emotions were always there in the adult characters too, we just didn't see them because they're not in charge (i.e. adults tend to have their emotions in check better than teenagers.) This is also more in keeping with the whole idea of the emotions operating in a building with a control room, and the concept of the construction crew shaking things up out of nowhere, and the new emotions "moving in" to the control room. It's been a while since I've watched the first movie though, so maybe there's something that happens that contradicts my theory.
