I do think SR leans a little less punk and a little more escapist than CP. CP's metanarrative is about how corporations are choking humanity, everything is getting worse, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop the machine. SR still has megacorps that are powerful and dangerous, but they're portrayed less like inexorable maws of entropy and more like squabbling factions (except for AZT, who embrace being cartoon villains with open arms), with the metanarrative being about big, clear-cut doomsday villains like insect spirits or rogue AI.
This is not a bad thing, mind you, especially for a tabletop RPG - and there's still plenty of room to tell the usual, gritty cyberpunk stories in the small scale.
