Perhaps it's more my interpretation of your categories:
Compromise, per se, can be anywhere from pleasant to unhappy to sad to bitter. It was the Bitter that pushed it into the much more than an unhappy concession. Hence, compromise of that degree would have an element of hostility/resentment self-directed, as in the self-loathing that would accompany such "giving in, against and in spite of one's own values."
Of course, in the context of the song itself [ha....and that is what we're doing here, not simply analyzing words out of context], compromise regarding "purchases" in an overly capitalistic culture, wouldn't need to rise to that level emotionally. Unless, the purchases were not literal ones of goods and services, but more the selling-out aspect of life. "From the 'latest hits' to the 'wisdom of old' " can also be the symbolic means of marking time, a broad sweeping gesture to indicate that it encompasses all aspects on that continuum [latest hits = literally "today"; "wisdom of old" = figuratively, as far back as you want to go, but inclusive of all of it, even prior to self].
I agree that biting one's lip can be indicative of smothering one's anger and contempt, but then that's why I wanted it to go up there with the Bitter Compromise. Hmmm
[I use this Emoticon for "Perplexed" as well....in this case, that's how it's meant.]Lizzytysh
