I found something on a German hairstyle website wich might be interesting for you. I translated it below, I think long hair in Germany is more popular wich I can only confirm (I am from Germany), it seems to be a lot different in the USA as I read here.

New Trends for men....
Short hair - long hair?
The answer is: To find the individual right one for yourself....
The hairstyle trend for fall/winter 2003/2004 is presenting a whole selection of many different looks. The fashion makes suggestions, the man decides...
Like before and now the trend is longer hairstyles. The hair cropped short in the neck is out, the hair is everywhere long additionally long bangs and highlights are absolutly in.
(Then scroll down to "Und für die ganz Mutigen...")
And for the curageous...
Here its again: Already in the 80's famous styles, the mullet is again possible in the society - we thank legendary Germany celebritys like Wolfgang Petry and Rudi Völler.
I recently went to a trendy hair salon in my area. No, not for a trim, but just to look through the men's hairstyles in the books they had there. Although there are some short haired styles, it seems there are quite a few longer styles showing up now, nothing major long, but it's a start. I guess since it takes anywhere from several months to a year or two or more to grow the adequate length it'll be a while yet before we see it on more guys.
I asked the hairstylist there what's more popular now on guys, short or long? She said longer is definatly getting more popular. In fact, she said that it's about 50/50 right now, for long vs short. Since then, I've been looking around, and noticed lots of guys with longer hair (ie lower neck or a bit beyond) plus many, many guys going through the awkward stage (myself included). A lot of the guys seem to be in their early to late teens, but there are also lots more in their 20s 30s, etc.
Trends don't translate to long hair growth very well.
Depends on your definition of long... but your right, they usually pass far too quickly...
