Modify your function like so:

function Validate(sender, args) 
 { 
     args.IsValid = true;
     var lblCount=0; 
     var lbGenre = document.getElementById("<%=lbohobby.ClientID %>");
     for(var x = 0; x < lbGenre.options.length; x++) 
     { 
          if(lbGenre.options[x].selected) 
          { 
               lblCount+=1; 
               alert(lblCount);
          } 
     } 
     if(lblCount > 3) 
     {               
          alert("maximum Three!");   
          args.IsValid = false;
     } 
}

Instead of return false you must use args.IsValid = false. You must also add the function input parameters - sender and args.

function Validate(sender, args)  
{
    args.IsValid = true
    var lblCount=0;      
    var lbGenre = document.getElementById("<%=lbohobby.ClientID %>");     
    for(var x = 0; x < lbGenre.options.length; x++)      
    {           
        if(lbGenre.options[x].selected)           
        {                
            lblCount+=1;                
            alert(lblCount);  
        }      
    }      
    if(lblCount > 3)      
    {                         
        alert("maximum Three!");
        args.IsValid = false;    
    }
}
