No. Shadowrun is more cyberpunk with a fantasy twist. There's pretty much nothing in it that's very post-apoc.
The giant, sprawling metropolises and megacorporations should have tipped you off.

Hmm, I don't think so, the setting's almost all cyberpunk. Though there are shades of post apocness.
Overall, it's more
Blade Runner-esque apocalyptic than post-apocalyptic. Plus, who wants elves and machine guns when you can have super mutants with plasma rifles?
The giant, sprawling metropolises and megacorporations should have tipped you off.
That's just the urban environments. Although they do make up 95% of the game, some of Shadowrun's wildernesses seems very nuclear.

It isn't post-apoc. Its post-something that made magic resurface or somesuch.

It ain't post-apoc in the true sense of the word. It's just your standard future cyber-dystopia with a bit of wacky magic thrown in for chaos. Case closed.
