No. Saying "I hate emo music" has no correlation to blues music at all. General theme may be the same, but that's where the comparasions stop. A blues song can be happy, yet the style that it is played is still part of the blues. The meaning behind the song doesn't classify it's genre, it's how the song is structured. The gypsys in Europe have been writing music with these sad themes for hundreds of years, but their music hardly has anything to do with the blues.
Emo could be modern society's form of complaining. I see nothing resembling the blues at all in the emo music I have heard, and to say it is a "newer form of blues" doesn't work for me. The blues is still kicking, although you made it sound like some lost art. Your whole statement about people's reasons for the blues is asinine. Everyone is different, the most obscure people can have the most obscure reasons to feel whatever they do.
